  • FCA approval received; change of control expected to be effective 21 November 2025

  • Enhanced investment offering for private clients, charities, family offices, endowments and trusts

London, 12 November 2025 - Brown Advisory is delighted to announce that it has received regulatory approval from the FCA for Marylebone Partners to join its team. The expected date for the change of control is 21 November 2025.

Quintin Ings-Chambers, Partner and Head of International Business at Brown Advisory, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Marylebone Partners to Brown Advisory. Together, we will be stronger in our ability to deliver differentiated investment solutions across a wider range of strategies. Marylebone Partners’ expertise and thoughtful approach aligns with Brown Advisory’s investment thinking and values.”

The combination of Brown Advisory and Marylebone Partners adds strength to the investment offering for private clients, charities, family offices and endowments. It also lays the foundation for a leading endowment-style approach tailored to clients based outside of the United States.

Marylebone Partners will retain autonomy and decision-making for its existing clients, including Majedie Investments PLC, who will immediately benefit from the breadth of expertise of Brown Advisory’s investment team as well as its substantial operational infrastructure, including robust client service, reporting and strategic advice.

Dan Higgins, Co-Founder, Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Marylebone Partners, commented: 

“Joining Brown Advisory is a pivotal moment for Marylebone Partners. Our clients will continue working with the team they trust, now supported by deeper research and enhanced investment resources. In today’s compelling market environment, we believe we’re well-positioned to deliver inflation-beating absolute returns through bespoke solutions.”

Together, the firm will offer portfolios shaped by Marylebone’s core strategy pillars: Active Equities, Absolute Return and Special Investments. These pillars may also serve as a foundation for future investment solutions designed to meet evolving client needs.

Both groups believe the market regime presents a compelling opportunity for the best active managers to capitalise on stock dispersion and attractive entry points for differentiated opportunities. By combining their strengths, Brown Advisory and Marylebone Partners aim to deliver inflation-beating results for clients over the long term.

Marylebone Partners’ principals have converted their ownership interests into equity in Brown Advisory and all 11 colleagues have formally joined the firm.
