Brown & Brown Insurance, founded in 1939 in Daytona Beach, Florida, initially started as a partnership. Despite the company's modest beginnings, it has grown into one of the largest and most successful insurance brokerages globally. Their team provides clients with the personalized service expected from an agency while ensuring the stability and security one would anticipate from a boutique brokerage. Brown & Brown Insurance became a publicly-traded company on the Nasdaq Stock Market following a merger in 1993. The company moved to the New York Stock Exchange in 1998 (NYSE: BRO) and was included in the S&P 500 for 2021. More information on Brown & Brown's history is available here.
