Asset manager Brown Advisory, with over $140 billion in AUM, has announced it has moved its London-based team to larger office premises in Hanover Square.

The London office was established by Logie Fitzwilliams in 2008. Its expansion to 75 colleagues and client assets of $20 billion has been driven by the launch of its US Sustainable Growth strategy. The fund is structured as a UCITS with assets of more than $4 billion.

In 2012 the establishment of a private client and charity team which now manages assets in excess of $3 billion for individuals, families (with an expertise in U.S. expatriates) and charities.

Most recently, in February 2022, the launch of the Global Sustainable Total Return Bond Fund has also required a larger UK presence.

Brown Advisory also has two other international offices that support the firm’s growing global client base. One in Singapore which opened in 2019 and Frankfurt which opened earlier this year.

Logie Fitzwilliams, head of international business and global head of sales at Brown Advisory, said: “Brown Advisory’s key investment strengths, distinctive culture and employee ownership have allowed us to build a successful business internationally, headquartered here in London.

“It has been a remarkable journey over the past 14+ years. We have grown from a tiny sales operation to a much broader business, managing equity, fixed income and ESG strategies for institutional clients and financial intermediaries, as well as bespoke discretionary portfolios for private clients and charities. One of the most important parts of our culture is collaboration and the new office enables us to focus on that.”
