From Legacy to Leadership
These days, the financial industry's teeming with firms claiming they're the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to high-net-worth management. But not every firm can exude the heritage and clout that Pitcairn brings to the table. Founded back in 1923, this outfit isn't new to the wealth management scene, and if you dig into their roots, you'll find one respected family name—Pitcairn—woven throughout its century-long tapestry.
A Century in the Game
Pitcairn didn't just pop up overnight as a multi-family office nose-diving for the big fish. Nope, this firm's got a legacy that started with one family and grew like a carefully tended vine. From solely serving the Pitcairn family, they've spread their wings and now cater to over 140 families across the U.S., pulling together an impressive $10 billion in assets under advisement. No small feat in anyone's book!
"It's a tremendous honor to be named among the 25 most distinguished wealth management firms in the country." — Andrew Busser, President & CEO of Pitcairn
Recognition with a Purpose
This nod from CNBC isn't just a shiny badge for the office wall. It confirms what they've been building all along—solid client relationships, a sharp investment philosophy, and a level of expertise that's hard to match. Being part of the Elite 25 means a lot of eyeballing from folks in the industry, even if it now comes with a little licensing fee. But hey, those fees don't tilt the scales. Results and reputation do.
The Shared Single-Family Office® Model
Picture this: all the benefits of your own private, singular family office without the need to build one from scratch. That's Pitcairn's secret weapon, their Shared Single-Family Office® model. It marries the personalized touch of a dedicated family office with the heft of institutional wisdom. Clients don't just get financial advice; they get a partner who gets the human and often messy side of multigenerational wealth.
