This firm of stockbrokers was founded in 1825 by James Foster and Richard Janson as Foster and Janson. Janson died in 1830 and James Foster was joined by Isaac Braithwaite and the firm was renamed Foster and Braithwaite in 1833. James Foster retired in 1855 and died in 1861. Isaac Braithwaite became head of the firm and in 1867 a new deed of partnership established the family dominance of the firm for the next century: only in 1968 was a partner nominated from outside the Braithwaite family. A new deed of partnership was drawn up in 1971. The firm was based at 27 Austin Friars from 1863-1970; from 1971-75 it was based at 1 Throgmorton Avenue and from 1976-88 at 22 Austin Friars; from 1989 its offices were at 27 Finsbury Square.
