Joshua Brown Biography
Josh Brown, widely known as "Downtown Josh Brown," is a prominent figure in American finance. As co-founder and CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, a New York City-based investment advisory firm managing more than $4 billion for high net worth investors, corporate retirement plans, and foundations, Brown has established a reputation for direct communication and a focus on investor education. The New York Times has referred to him as "the Merchant of Snark," and Barron's called him "pot-stirring and provocative." His straightforward approach has attracted a broad following across both Wall Street and Main Street.
Brown began his career by launching the blog "The Reformed Broker" during a period of personal and professional uncertainty. The blog attracted millions of readers and served as the foundation for his transition into a new role within the financial industry. Brown became an on-air contributor for CNBC, a regular cast member on Fast Money, and a founding cast member on The Halftime Report. He was also ranked the No. 1 financial Twitter follow by The Wall Street Journal.
Brown is the author of several books on investing and Wall Street culture. His debut, "Backstage Wall Street," draws on his experience in the industry to reveal the inner workings of the financial world. He co-authored "Clash of the Financial Pundits" with Jeff Macke and later co-edited "How I Invest My Money." He also published "You Weren't Supposed to See That," a collection of notable posts from his blog.
Brown appears twice weekly on CNBC's Halftime Report, offering analysis on market news. He also co-hosts the weekly podcast "The Compound & Friends" with Michael Batnick and maintains a significant social media presence within the finance community. Brown co-created the inaugural Future Proof, described as the world's largest wealth festival. Through television, print, and live events, Brown is recognized for his ability to explain complex financial concepts in accessible language, making him a leading voice in investment commentary and financial media.
