About
Built on Trust. Growing With You.
The firm was founded in 1991 by Leigh Baldwin, whose goal for the company was and is to serve as an investment firm devoted to the client relationship. Throughout the past 30 plus years, the company has evolved, advanced, and expanded into a full-service investment brokerage firm, all without compromising on their primary ideology to treat all investors equally.
As an early pioneer in the independent investment firm space, Leigh Baldwin & Co. has emphasized long-term performance enhanced by continuous, on-going risk management. In addition, the company believes that by keeping costs low and by always questioning the rationale of the favored crowd, clients may rely on them to achieve their financial goals.
The entrepreneurial spirit and structure surrounding the firm has led it to grow from 2 people to over 70 financial professionals across 12 states, responsible for over $3.1 Billion dollars in customer assets (as of 12/31/24).
