By GlobalDataCresset was founded in 2017 with a vision to reinvent the way people experience wealth. As long-time industry clients themselves, Stein and Co-Founder Eric Becker set out to create a firm that delivered the comprehensive, personalized services they felt were missing in the wealth management industry.
Cresset Asset Management, which was co-founded by Stein and Eric Becker, said to manage almost $4bn from its headquarters in Chicago.
Becker said: “Both Cresset and the Evanston team take pride in being independent and client- and employee-owned. As we became better acquainted with the Evanston team over the past year, we became increasingly excited by the many clear similarities in approach and philosophy between our organizations.
“We are pleased to share our respective best practices and to build upon the common cultures our firms have created.”
