History:
Brandywine Global was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1986 as Brandywine Asset Management, LLC. Our founders created a business plan with the objective of achieving steady asset growth through effective investment management and top-quality client service. After building a successful track record with large- and small-cap domestic value strategies, we sought to increase the depth and breadth of our products to meet the needs of our clients. Toward this end, Brandywine Global developed fixed-income and balanced products in 1992.
In January 1998, Brandywine Asset Management was acquired by Legg Mason, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed company which has been providing investment services to institutions and individuals since 1899. Operating as a wholly-owned but independently operated subsidiary of Legg Mason, Brandywine Global continues to retain complete investment autonomy and full control over all management, strategic, and employment decisions.
Since the late 1990s, the firm has grown significantly, building its assets from about $6 billion to the current level of $38 billion (as of 6/30/2012 ). This growth has been fueled, primarily, by an increasing presence in international markets, particularly in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa. In 2003, Brandywine Global Investment Management (Asia) Pte. Ltd., was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC, and provides a full range of investment advisory and fund management services to institutional clients in Singapore. In May 2006, our firm relocated its headquarters from Wilmington, DE, to the Cira Centre in Philadelphia and changed its name to Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC. In 2007, the firm established Brandywine Global Investment Management (Europe) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. (NYSE: LM) that is controlled and operated by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC. |
