The combined group will have eight offices across the US.
PagnatoKarp CEO and founder Paul Pagnato said: “PagnatoKarp was born during the Great Recession in reaction to the lack of transparency in the industry. Our desire was to create a new paradigm for wealth management by democratising the family office.
“In Cresset, we have found a partner that shares that vision and has the scale and depth of capabilities to greatly expand the services we offer to a broader segment of individuals and families.”
All PagnatoKarp employees will move to Cresset as part of the US and continue to offer private wealth management and family office services.
