BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Verdence Capital Advisors, LLC, is pleased to announce that New York Private Bank & Trust (NYPB&T), through its subsidiary Emigrant Partners, has completed a minority investment in Verdence Capital Advisors, a financial planning and independent wealth management firm headquartered near Baltimore, Maryland. The infusion of capital and intellectual alignment will help Verdence enhance service offerings for clients by investing in their platform and expanding their team. Additionally, Verdence will accelerate growth by developing a national footprint through M&A.
Verdence currently oversees approximately $3 billion in assets under management (AUM) for high-net-worth families, business owners, executives, and professional athletes and entertainers. Led by philanthropist, financier, and entrepreneur Howard Milstein, Emigrant Partners/NYPB&T is one of the largest privately held, family-owned and operated banks in the country.
Verdence, an independent, fee-based, registered investment advisory, was founded in 2012 as Kelly Wealth Management and rebranded in 2017 as Verdence Capital Advisors, after separating from Hightower Advisors. Verdence's services include a range of family office, wealth management, financial planning, and business exit strategy for entrepreneurs and business owners. Over just the past year+, Verdence has added new divisions focusing on its family office clients (Verdence/FAMILY) and its specialized clientele of professional athletes and entertainers (Verdence/PRO), with plans to add additional lines of growth.
