Baird Equity Asset Management

List

Our equity investment management business is made up of autonomous investment teams, each with deep expertise in a distinct area of the market. Our teams employ a unique investment approach and are supported by a best-in-class operational environment, in which our investment teams – free from other responsibilities-can uniquely focus on the pursuit of investment excellence and successful client outcomes.

At Baird, we have an entrepreneurial spirit, with a focus on long-term growth for our teams, and, most importantly, for our clients. We have the resources and independence to focus on what matters most: making the best possible investment decisions and earning the trust of our clients through value-added performance, outstanding service and long-term success.

This engaging professional environment offers exceptional potential for growth and success. But it’s not only defined by the numbers we achieve. It’s also about demonstrating the attitudes, actions, and behaviors that deliver the desired results for our clients. We take our work personally with a long-term view to deliver what we promise, day-in and day-out.

“My proudest moment at Baird would be to see our assets grow, the number of people on our team grow, and really feel like we’re having an impact on Baird’s end client, the actual individuals and families that Baird is serving. It’s a blue collar approach to Wall Street. This place is different. People do not leave. They want to stay. The tenure and the opportunity to grow a career is very unique. I’m most looking forward to the next 30 years of my career at Baird.”
