How bright is
our future?
Baird is strong, stable and growing. While many competitors were retrenching in 2008 and 2009 , we countered industry trends by opening more than 15 new locations and increasing the number of associates by 8%. In 2009, we recruited a record 105 veteran Financial Advisors.
Fueling all this growth is one simple philosophy: if you put clients first, the rest will follow. Being independent and employee-owned allows us the freedom to grow our business, our way — even if our way tends to be contrary to the industry.
While others think size is the key to success, we think you win with good people and commitment to your values .
Some are “financial supermarkets.” We are dedicated to our core competencies.
Many strive toward vertical integration. We subscribe to open architecture and seek best-in-class results.
Most feel the strain of shareholder pressure. We embrace independence because it means we can write our own destiny. Every day we make the right choices for you, your clients and our business.
Our future is about honing the edge we already have — investing in the people and resources that create great outcomes; maintaining and maximizing our coveted position as a private, employee-owned firm; and being the best place to work for those who provide the best service in the business.
