As we celebrate a century of successful financial partnerships, we know it's not the number of years that matters most - it's the relationships we've built along the way.

Baird's tradition of excellence started in 1919 with our founder, Robert W. Baird, and his guiding principle: Clients come first.

This straightforward ideal continues to guide all we do to this day. It helped drive our first 100 years of success, during which we grew our capabilities, established new businesses and expanded into markets around the world - all to meet our clients' evolving needs.

We know all we've accomplished as a firm in our first century has been because of our clients. With their trust and partnership, we've built a strong, durable business. We look forward to our next 100 years of working alongside individuals, families, companies and communities across the globe.
