The team, which formerly worked at Merrill Lynch, specialises in meeting the specific demands of high-net-worth clientele like as business owners, executives, and multi-generational families.
“We’ve completed years of due diligence, looking at wirehouses, quasi-independence, and full independence,” said Premier Path’s Lehman. “We decided that full independence with support from Dynasty Financial Partners is the best way to serve our clients, today and in the future.”
Lehman added: “We’re immediately adding two new members: Brian Glenn as director of investments, and Bill Ehrhardt as our head of business advisory services. As these appointments indicate, being an independent firm means we can pursue more creative and sophisticated solutions for our clients while pursuing M&A and other business opportunities.”
Premier Path intends to make use of Dynasty’s skills in marketing, back-office assistance, compliance, third-party research, investment solutions, technology, software, and back-office support.
