Brown Advisory Adds Portfolio Manager 
to Its Growing Nashville Office 

NASHVILLE, TN – Bill Hirschman joins Brown Advisory as the next step in a long and notable career in the Nashville area. Prior to joining the firm, Bill was a Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager at Bank of America Private Bank where he led the growth and evolution of the Tennessee private bank business. Before his time at Bank of America, Bill worked as an Executive Director at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, actively advising high-net-worth executives, business owners and families.

“We are excited to welcome Bill to the firm. He brings valuable expertise to our office, with a successful track record of supporting clients as they seek to achieve their goals and build their legacy,” said Tom Curtis, head of Brown Advisory’s Nashville office. “Bill has a long history in the Nashville area and his nationwide network, fostered over his career, will bring significant opportunities to our clients.”

Bill spent much of his early career at Avondale Partners. There he built their Global Equity Trading operation, creating a team of trading professionals across the United States. This led to Bill becoming the Head of their Equity Capital Markets division which oversaw the growing market geographies of Texas, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee. He then became the Director of Research, delivering industry-leading investment advice to clients.

Bill also has taken a keen interest in community involvement, something inherent to Brown Advisory’s cultural DNA. He currently sits as a Board Member of the Nashville Conflict Resolution Center, an Advisory Board Member of the Friends of Warner Parks and is a Volunteer Rowing Coach at Montgomery Bell Academy. He was also a long-serving member of the Ethics Committee at Alive Hospice.

“Our office is growing; we want to attract and retain impressive individuals with the skills and character to continue our story here,” concludes Tom.
