In just over a year since its founding in July 2017, Cresset Wealth Advisors has achieved remarkable growth, surpassing $3 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of September 2018.
The Chicago-based firm, co-founded by Eric Becker and Avy Stein, attributes its rapid expansion to a combination of its client-first philosophy, comprehensive service model, and entrepreneurial culture.
“Our growth is a direct reflection of our platform, people, and commitment to putting clients first,” said Becker, a seasoned private equity executive and Cresset co-founder.
