HM Payson & Co Portfolio holdings
H.M. Payson & Co. is an investment and trust firm founded in 1854 by Henry Martyn Payson, a Portland native who started as a stock and bond broker after returning from the California gold rush. Water utilities were its early specialty: Payson first dealt in water bonds in 1866, as the Portland Water Company took shape, the firm underwrote water bond issues until 1981, and in 1926 two of its partners and five outsiders formed a water utility holding company, Consumer's Water Company, which Payson stayed connected to until 1999. For clients' money it stuck to cautious, blue-chip securities, and in the 1920s it refused to offer margin accounts even though it lost half of its brokerage business in 1928 as a result. The firm later moved trust management from commissions to a fee, and in 2000 it received a state charter to operate as a trust company.
