Perigon Wealth Management, a registered investment advisory firm, has partnered with RLP Wealth Advisors, a registered investment advisory firm, to establish a new firm with national footprint and approximately $1.8bn in assets under management (AUM).
The newly combined firm will be operated from offices in California, Florida, Montana, New York, New Jersey and Hawaii, under the name Perigon Wealth Management.
Perigon CEO Arthur Ambarik said: “We are most excited about the cultural alignment and client value-add that the RLP team brings to Perigon. Both firms are growth-minded and client-centric — and we are very much looking forward to integrating RLP’s deep expertise in socially responsible investing into Perigon’s client portfolios.”
The transaction will combine the Perigon’s experience of working with technology industry executives and handling complex equity compensation arrangements with RLP’s experience in value-driven investing strategies.
RLP has a global clientele that includes executives, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, corporations, and individuals and families.
In addition, the team at RLP holds more than a decade of experience in integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals into impact-oriented investments on behalf of clients.
