Brown Brothers Harriman, a privately-held financial services firm, has brought in Michael Kim to serve as chief investment officer of its wealth management business, based in New York. 

Kim, who rejoins the firm having initially started in 1994, will have overall responsibility for Brown Brothers Harriman Wealth Management's investment offering globally, including asset allocation, manager selection and investment performance. He reports to Charlie Izard, partner responsible for wealth management.

In addition to his CIO role, Kim will also co-chair the asset allocation committee, alongside chief investment strategist Scott Clemons.

Overall, Kim has more than 15 years of experience in financial services. Before his return to Brown Brothers he worked at Willett Advisors, focusing on the global private equity and global credit hedge fund asset classes for a large family office and foundation. 

“I am excited to rejoin BBH and have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and continued success of the wealth management business,” said Kim.

In other moves, in April the New York-based firm appointed Jamie Cann as a vice president and relationship manager within its Charlotte, NC, wealth management office.

The privately-held bank operates from 17 locations, including New York, Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Charlotte, NC, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Jersey City, NJ, Wilmington, DE, London, Dublin, Luxembourg, Zurich, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo.
