What is BBH and What Do We Do?

Brown Brothers Harriman (“BBH”) has been serving the financial needs of customers and clients for more than 200 years. Unlike online brokers that primarily service individuals, BBH operates as a private global financial partnership whereby we offer services for Institutions, High Net Worth Individuals and Private Companies. Through this model, we focus on developing long-term relationships with our clients that are founded on integrity and providing a tailored financial solution rather than offering mass-market trading products.

Due to our extensive experience since 1818, we are well-known for our strong regulatory focus and a level of expertise that will exceed your expectations as an institutionally focused asset servicing company.

History and Background of BBH

Founded in 1818, Brown Brothers Harriman is a privately-held financial company that has successfully operated through many of the major economic, regulatory and global market cycles over the past two centuries. As a private partnership, BBH has the flexibility to take a long-term approach to managing the company and is not under the pressure of having public shareholders. With headquarters located in Boston, as well as offices in other major financial centres, BBH has built a reputation for trustworthiness, consistency and providing institutional-quality service.
