History

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Barings, originally established as a firm of merchants and merchant bankers, was formed in London in 1762.[5]

In the 1950s, Barings realised the potential of asset management and set up its own investment department in 1955.[10][11] Clients were corporate clients, sovereign connections, pension funds and charitable institutions. In the 1970s, Barings expanded this business internationally with offices in the Far East, North America and Europe.[12] In 1989, Barings combined all of its asset management activities within Baring Asset Management Limited, headquartered in London.[13] In 1995, Barings Bank, the oldest investment bank in Britain, collapsed as a result of unauthorised trading by its head derivatives trader in Singapore, Nick Leeson, who was imprisoned for six and a half years in Singapore.[14] It was then bought for £1 by ING Group, a Dutch bank.[15]

In March 2005, Baring Asset Management was split and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) acquired Baring Asset Management's investment management activities and the rights to use the Baring Asset Management name.[16][17] Northern Trust acquired Baring Asset Management’s Financial Services Group.[18]

In September 2016, MassMutual merged Babson Capital Management, Wood Creek Capital Management, Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers, and Baring Asset Management to form Barings.[6]
