Indiana Trust Co. identifying threats

As the financial events of the past year have unfolded, Indiana Trust & Investment Management Co. in Muncie has been working to identify threats for client portfolios prior to any severe damage.

“We believe our strategies provide the right course for long-term investment results, despite short-term turmoil,” Ted Jarvis, senior vice president, said in a press release. “Specific measures have been taken to ensure our clients have the highest degree of safety available in the investment markets.”

According to Jarvis, ITC has also done a very good job of avoiding some of the disasters recently reported in the press.

“In fact, less than 1 percent of the $1.2 billion we manage for our clients has had any direct exposure to failing assets, based on their cost basis and market values from Dec. 13, 2007,” Jarvis said.

Jarvis also noted that the Federal Reserve is doing its utmost to provide the necessary liquidity. He predicted that eventually it will take hold and the markets will stabilize; however, several prominent Wall Street players and even some individuals will not financially survive. Those will be the parties that abused debt and leveraged the most.

Indiana Trust and Investment Management Co. is an employee-owned company chartered under Indiana banking statutes. Indiana Trust and Investment Management Company maintains offices in Mishawaka and Muncie.
