About us
Founded in 1800, Alex. Brown & Sons underwrote the first initial public offering in America: the Baltimore Water Company in 1808, followed by the B&O railroad (America's first railroad). In the last couple of decades, the Firm built a reputation as an investment banker bringing public some of the most exciting growth companies of the times, including Microsoft, Oracle Systems, Starbucks, United Healthcare, and many other pioneers in technology, communications and healthcare. The 1999 merger with Deutsche Bank expanded the Firm's reach far beyond America and united its background with a bank that is an integral part of the financial history of Europe.
Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown and nearly 260 Client Advisors operate in 16 branch offices around the United States. Client Advisors deliver advice and solutions to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, and to institutional and corporate clients. Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown has approximately $43.3 billion* assets under control (as of 6/30/09).
