BBY Ltd is a full service stock broking, corporate advisory and asset management firm, that has been providing financial services and advice since 1987. BBY’s primary objective is to assist emerging and mid sized companies and their investors to capitalise on opportunities through corporate finance, research, sales & trading, and asset management services.

Background

BBY, formerly known as Burdett Buckeridge Young Limited, was established in 1987 by three former A C Goode & Co brokers in conjunction with the State Bank of Victoria (SBV). The acquisition of SBV by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in the early 1990s saw the disposal of their interest and subsequently Jefferies & Co. acquired an interest in the firm.

Since then, BBY has established itself as a provider of institutional broking and capital raising services on the back of specialist research, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, London, and Dubai and a strategic partnership with CIMB - GK Securities Pte. Ltd.

In 2006, the company completed the acquisition of Jaguar Asset Management. Two years earlier, in 2004, the two companies had entered into a strategic alliance, under which Jaguar managing director Glenn Rosewall was appointed chief executive officer of BBY.
