About PetersonBrown Group
Our History
When Michael Brown and Donald Peterson opened their firm in 2008, the Global Financial Crisis (considered to be the worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s) was still taking its toll. Across the globe, the threat of the total collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments and downturns in stock markets were all that economists could see.
Amid this uncertainty, Michael Brown and Donald Peterson set out to build an investment firm that could help investors rebuild from the crisis by providing financing for the region’s most promising growth-oriented companies.
Their mission: To help restore investors’ confidence in financial institutions by creating a firm that was steadfastly and singularly focused on its clients’ success. “When our clients succeed, the firm’s success will follow”, Mr. Brown would say.
Theirs would be a conservatively financed firm that stood for honest and sound corporate advice, unbiased investment advice, and civic responsibility. Their vision demanded that the firm pursued only investments that it could vouch for based on rigorous research.
These uncompromising core values served investors and issuers well after the 2008 financial crisis, and they continue to do so today. Their vision for providing unbiased investment advisories and financing solutions now extends to investors, companies, and organizations across the world. Today PetersonBrown is a global investment banking and asset management firm based in both China and Japan.
Since its inception, the firm has remained independent and privately owned. This independence coupled with the stability of a strong balance sheet and diversified businesses allows us to put clients first and foremost.
By building lasting business relationships with clients, they have helped both institutional and private investors achieve their objectives and the growth of their companies, businesses, private wealth and personal assets. PetersonBrown possesses both the expertise and solutions to meet clients’ ever-changing needs while abiding by its vision and core values.
