Key Terms

investment management, retirement planning, mineral management, fiduciary services

4 terms

investment management financial

"continues to offer investment management, retirement planning, trust and estate"

Investment management is the professional process of selecting, monitoring, and adjusting a mix of financial assets—such as stocks, bonds, cash, or funds—to pursue specific goals like growth, income, or risk control. It matters to investors because it organizes how capital is allocated and risks are handled over time, similar to a planner who balances a household budget or a gardener who tends different plants to achieve a desired outcome across changing conditions.

retirement planning financial

"continues to offer investment management, retirement planning, trust and estate"

A long-term process of arranging income, savings, investments, and timing to support living expenses after someone stops working; it includes estimating future needs, choosing where to hold money, and planning how and when to convert assets into income. It matters to investors because it shapes risk choices, time horizons, asset mix, and tax or withdrawal strategies—like a roadmap that determines how aggressively or conservatively a portfolio is structured to meet future spending goals.

mineral management financial

"as well as mineral management, real property, and estate administration."

Management and administration of mineral rights and related income streams, including tracking leases, ownership title, production reporting, royalty payments, joint operating agreements, and regulatory compliance for oil, gas, coal, metals, and other underground resources. It matters to investors because accurate mineral management determines how much cash a property produces, how secure those payments are, and what legal or regulatory risks exist—similar to managing rental property to ensure correct rent, upkeep, and clear ownership.

fiduciary services financial

"real property management, and fiduciary services across nine Texas markets"

Fiduciary services are professional duties where a person or firm legally and ethically must act in the best financial interest of a client—like a trusted guardian managing someone’s money rather than promoting what’s best for themselves. For investors this matters because fiduciaries must avoid conflicts, disclose fees and prioritize client outcomes, which can lower the risk of harmful advice, reduce hidden costs and increase confidence in how assets are managed.

ABILENE, Texas, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) has announced that its wealth services company, formerly known as First Financial Trust, is now operating as First Financial Wealth Management. The name change takes effect immediately and will be reflected across all communications, locations, and materials over the coming months.

The change is a clarification, not a restructuring. The team, services, locations, and leadership remain unchanged. First Financial Wealth Management continues to offer investment management, retirement planning, trust and estate administration, mineral management, real property management, and fiduciary services across nine Texas markets, the same offerings the Company has had since 1927.

"First Financial Trust was a name that no longer told our full story," said David Bailey, President and CEO of First Financial Bankshares. "Our clients trust us with their investment portfolios, their family ranches, their mineral rights, and the legacy they want to leave behind. First Financial Wealth Management reflects the breadth of what we do each day, and what we have always done, for families across generations."

The updated name better reflects the full range of services First Financial has provided its clients for generations, including investment management and retirement planning, as well as mineral management, real property, and estate administration. First Financial Wealth Management unifies the bank and its wealth services under a single, clear identity, making it easier for clients and communities to understand everything available to them.
