WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE INVEST IN YOUR

CLIENTSBUSINESSFUTURE

Wealth Partners Capital Group is an investor in and partner to five nationally recognized RIAs. We provide capital and strategic support to these firms, and assist them in acquiring like-minded RIAs and advisors seeking growth, expanded business capabilities and succession solutions.

It is with incredible sorrow that we learned in late February of the death of Thomas H. Lee.

Tom was an early investor in Wealth Partners Capital Group.

More importantly, he was a counselor, advisor and mentor to our founding team, consistently offering his insights and help.

He was, above all, a wonderful person and a generous friend. We miss him.

OUR APPROACH

The founders of Wealth Partners Capital Group (WPCG) have collectively been one of the most prominent investment groups in the industry, having executed transactions that represent in aggregate over $146 billion in client assets.

WPCG’s mission is to help our partner firms provide RIA owners, IBD teams, advisors and their clients with access to best-in-class client-first planning and investment capabilities. Whether an advisor is seeking a succession solution for retirement or looking to accelerate growth, our partner firms offer both liquidity and opportunity.
