By GlobalData“I had the pleasure of getting to know Stratos’ executive team when the firm was a client at my last firm, Silver Lane.”
Stratos Wealth Holdings is a $15bn firm that comprises Stratos Wealth Partners, Stratos Wealth Advisors, Stratos Wealth Management, Stratos Wealth Enterprises, and Fundamentum.
It has 300 financial advisers and financial planning professionals across 87 offices.
Stratos founder Jeff Concepcion said: “NCP could not have been easier to transact with.
“The firm was engaged in sub-acquisition opportunities and brand building even before the investment closed.”
