At the same time, the wealth manager hired seven wealth advisers.

The advisers are Perry Bacon, Darcy Carroll, Robert Hopkins, Robert Oster, Hunter Purcell, Philip Rauch, Mitchell Whiteman and Jennifer Viglucci.

Formerly, these advisers collectively oversaw over $3bn in assets at Baltimore’s Brown Advisory.

“In William Blair we find an independent, 84-year-old partnership that shares our focus of putting clients first and giving back to the community,” Hopkins noted.

William Blair managed over $33bn in private wealth assets at the end of December 2018.
