About JBWere
Our story has two beginnings.
In 1840 Jonathan Binns Were formed Were Brothers & Company, becoming the preeminent stock broking business in Australia for the next 120 years.
In 1961, Ron Jarden started his business above a menswear shop in Wellington. An ex-All Black, Ron brought his commitment on the field to delivering the best possible outcomes for his clients.
August 2025, Jonathan Binns Were and Ron Jarden's Wealth businesses became one, combining the strengths of both, we continue to provide for our clients through expertise and an unwavering commitment.
Who we are
JBWere takes care of a variety of clients including individuals, families, entrepreneurs, institutional investors and for-purpose organisations to preserve and enhance wealth. While each of our clients is unique, they share a common goal to invest what they have in responsible and intelligent ways.
Protecting and building wealth requires a sophisticated approach to investment portfolios, but we seek to serve our clients with clarity and transparency.
Our relationships are measured in decades rather than years. This foundation means our expertise, wisdom and future-thinking approach is always here for what matters to you.

Our Philanthropic Services team have been partnering with individuals, families, business owners and for-purpose organisations to support them in shaping a better society. The team leverages the heritage, strength and scale of JBWere and its international network, in order to provide the best advice to clients.
