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.
