NewEdge Advisors, NewEdge Wealth Divisions Report Growth for Third Consecutive Year
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12, 2023 — NewEdge Capital Group, LLC, a leading and rapidly growing wealth management firm supporting successful financial advisors nationwide, announced today that the firm has surpassed last year’s record growth in client assets and advisor teams.
The firm, which includes NewEdge Wealth and NewEdge Advisors, recruited $9.6 billion in expected Assets Under Management (AUM) representing its best recruiting year since inception. The 2023 activity compares to $9.1 billion in AUM recruited in 2022. To put the firm’s growth trajectory into perspective, NewEdge Advisors’ recruiting successes just in the month of October 2023 surpassed the firm’s total transactions in 2021, its first year as part of NewEdge Capital Group. This recruiting success, combined with the organic growth of existing assets has allowed NewEdge Capital Group to grow by more than 37.5% for the year, having reached over $44 billion in client assets serviced as of the end of November 2023.
“We are grateful for the hard work and dedication our team has demonstrated in developing innovative solutions and strong value propositions that provide advisors the resources, flexibility, and fiduciary freedom to succeed,” said Rob Sechan, a Managing Partner at NewEdge Capital Group and CEO and Co-Founder of NewEdge Wealth. “NewEdge continues to resonate with top advisors across the country who are looking for a growth partner.”
NewEdge Capital Group launched in October 2021, and its NewEdge Advisors and NewEdge Wealth divisions provide supported independence and flexible employee models. NewEdge Capital Group ranked No. 14 on the 2023 Forbes/Shook Research America’s Top RIA Firms list and No. 13 on Barron’s Top 100 RIA Firms list. It was No. 15 and No. 29 on the 2022 lists, its first year of eligibility.
Alex Goss, a Managing Partner at NewEdge Capital Group and Co-CEO and Co-Founder of NewEdge Advisors, added, “The wealth management industry continues to experience disruption from consolidation, technology, and succession, and wealth managers seek a partner that can help them navigate these challenges while providing a growth platform. We offer that support so they can focus on what’s important to them – the client relationship.”
