WEST PALM BEACH -
West Palm Beach is gaining recognition as a burgeoning financial center, often referred to as Wall Street South, driven by an influx of financial firms that are fostering wealth creation and generating high-paying employment opportunities. This shift has positioned the city as an attractive alternative for investors, challenging established financial centers such as New York and Chicago.
On today, CBS12’s Lauren Olesky spoke with John Jannarone about the city's rapid development in the realm of capital formation and business funding. The conversation underscored the significant impact that the arrival of financial companies has had on the local economy.
The transformation of West Palm Beach was also a focal point at the Palm Beach CorpGov Forum held last Wednesday. The event, co-hosted by NYSE, Goodmans LLP, and Goldman Sachs, brought together experts from various sectors to discuss critical themes such as private equity value creation, upcoming universal proxy season in 2024, healthcare industry trends, and the future landscape for SPACs and IPOs.
Legal expert Jonathan Feldman from Goodmans LLP and Edward Kovary of BTIG have noted the positive economic implications of this trend. As West Palm Beach continues to attract key players from the financial sector, it promises not only growth in capital but also sustainable career opportunities for its residents.
