Ricky Manning
Assistant State Treasurer
Director, Bond and Collateral Division

A graduate of Millsaps College, Ricky has 20 years of experience in both the public and private sectors. Before working at the Treasurer's office, Ricky worked in New York as an Equity Trader for what is now known as the Bank of New York Mellon. From there, he parlayed his time on the trading desk to wealth management as a Portfolio Analyst with AmSouth Bank (Regions). A slight change in career paths directed him into public accounting working for one of the Big 4 firms, KPMG. His audit experience then led him to accept
an invitation to join a client, Parkway Properties, as an accountant to manage accounting functions for several properties owned by the company. He has been with the Office of the State Treasurer for almost 4 years and divides his time between managing the State's ongoing debt service requirements and ensuring
the safety of public funds in the Collateral Program.

Ricky graduated with a B.A. from Millsaps College and he received an advanced degree from Mississippi College in Accounting. He is active in his church, Habit
for Humanity, Boy Scouts of America, and his family. Ricky is married to Shannon Manning. They have two children: Nicholas (9) and Tucker (5).
