Following the deal, Affinia clients will receive support from the Sequoia specialised wealth planning team and access to a wider range of investment alternatives, including private market investments.

Established in Akron, Ohio, and with offices across the country, Sequoia offers asset management and wealth planning solutions for clients at all stages of the wealth spectrum, from individuals to family offices. 

Affinia, an SEC-registered firm headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, managed $418m in assets as of August 10 2023, with clients including high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, and estates.  

Furthermore, Affinia was founded in 2019 and has a staff of ten specialists.

The firm’s customised practice group serves more than half of the households with which it works.

Tom Haught, founder and CEO of Sequoia, said: “We look for partners that are making a meaningful impact within specific communities and share our passion for client service, philosophy, and values. Affinia’s work with families who have members with special needs is an important addition to our firm. It supports Sequoia’s ‘built for you’ strategy, which equips our advisors with the resources they need to have a deep and personal effect on our clients’ lives.”
