Our Story

Built to put clients first and create success that lasts

A partnership approach to business

Founded in 1818, our firm’s evolution mirrors the story of global finance adapting to navigate the challenges of expanding markets—boom and bust, recessions and depressions, inflation and deflation, regulation, growth—to serve our clients.

As a privately owned and managed financial services firm, operating without the distraction of outside shareholders, we are free to put clients first and focus on their interests. This singular mission has sustained us over two centuries. Our goal has never been to be the biggest financial services firm – it has always been to be the best partner for our clients.

Today, just as when our doors first opened over 200 years ago, partnership represents more than just a form of ownership. It’s our entire approach to doing business – one we believe is unique in the industry.

We partner with our clients to help enable their success; we partner with our employees to help them pursue rewarding careers; we partner with our communities to improve the lives of those who are in need; and we partner with our financial regulators to contribute to building safe, fair, and stable markets. 

Two focused businesses

Our strategy to work with a select number of clients means you benefit from a more personalized experience and team of experts who know you, your business, and who are focused on delivering results that help you achieve your definition of success.
