Valor in Action: Honoring Service, Creating Opportunity

Work at the Firm Level

Matt Welch, CFA, Senior Credit Research Analyst & Business Manager, Captain, United States Marine Corps, Naval Aviator, serves as the co-chair of the Valor Steering Committee alongside Ray Buckley, Client Portfolio Analyst, Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, Force Reconnaissance. Together, they will build on Valor’s strong foundation, which has included community service, a speaker series and the Valor Internship Program. Valor internships combine work experience, technical skill building and professional development for college undergraduates. The program gives military veterans returning to school hands-on professional experience, helping them apply their leadership, discipline and technical skills in corporate and investment settings.

Community Partnerships

Valor maintains a longstanding partnership with Home Base, a national nonprofit that heals the invisible wounds of war for veterans, service members, military families and families of the fallen. Each year, Valor takes part in the Run to Home Base, a fundraising road race that begins and ends at Boston’s iconic Fenway Park. Valor also joins the organization each Memorial Day to plant more than 37,000 flags in the Boston Public Garden, an effort that honors every Massachusetts service member who has given their life in defense of our country since the Revolutionary War.
