Joseph R. Alcantara, who joined the firm in 1940, was widely known as a savior of the local hospital. In 1949, Mr. Alcantara said he was called to the home of a wealthy investor, who ordered him to buy up stock in the old Santa Cruz hospital on Soquel Avenue. The Story goes that the investor reckoned he would get a “cool million” when he sold it later, or even shut it down if he didn’t get his price. Rather than follow the unnamed investor’s advice, Mr. Alcantara bought the shares himself for $75,469, then sold them to the Dominican Sisters for exactly what he paid. Mr. Alcantara later served as president of the local hospital, president of its lay advisory board and was an honorary life member.
Nick and Scott, came in contact with Lee Thoma of Baikie & Alcantara and found a kinship that sprouted from the same vision of Mr. Baikie. Lee, Nick and Scott felt that the partnership was a natural fit and Taggart Lowe merged with Baikie & Alcantara. Another partner, Matt Pulsipher joined the group shortly after Nick left to pursure other opportunities. Matt Pulsipher and Scott Lowe are the new principles of Baike and Alcantara. Matt and Scott are also managing partners of City Fiduciary Group, another firm that has a long history of providing financial advice.
Throughout the years Baikie & Alcantara has had some great investment brokers and stock advisors come through its doors. Many are still current clients of the firm. Matt and Scott are devoted to keeping the legacy of Baikie and Alcantara for many years to come.
