It offers a comprehensive range of wealth planning services, including financial planning and investment management, customized to the needs of each client.
“RegentAtlantic’s success stems from a disciplined wealth management process focused on the distinct needs of high-net-worth clients, an approach that has created deep client loyalty and contributed to the firm’s strong growth,” said Kurt MacAlpine, CI Chief Executive Officer. “RegentAtlantic is a great strategic and cultural fit with the existing firms and leadership within CI Private Wealth and fully supports our vision of building the country’s leading wealth management firm.”
