A Passion for Making Progress
“I couldn’t be more excited to join AssetMark at such a pivotal time,” Rogerson expressed. He noted the significant advancements made with the recent Adhesion and Voyant acquisitions, which set the stage for integrating services that allow RIAs to concentrate less on operational complexities and more on client relationships and business development.
