ChangePath acquires Partnervest Advisory Services
LEAWOOD, Kan. (October 15, 2020) – ChangePath, a boutique RIA firm in the Kansas City area, announced today that it has acquired Santa Barbara, California-based Partnervest Advisory Services. Established in 2001, Partnervest provides a comprehensive wealth management platform for financial advisors and their clients.
“Partnervest’s proven history and approach closely aligns with ChangePath’s goal to expand to serve more advisors and their clients,” said ChangePath president, Marty Pfannenstiel. “The firm, founded by Ken Hyman, president and CEO, has a philosophy based on deep advisor relationships backed by strong investment management expertise, and it’s a perfect complement to our business,” said Pfannenstiel.
Upon completion of the $700-million transaction, ChangePath will have nearly $2 billion in assets under administration. “With the Partnervest acquisition, we are poised for continued growth and are more strongly positioned to expand offerings to our existing independent advisors and those considering a transition to the independent advisor space,” said Pfannenstiel.
“At Partnervest, we understand the power of partnership—it’s what we’ve built our firm on since 2001. Partnering with ChangePath is consistent with that ideology. We look forward to working together to bring ChangePath’s cutting-edge technology and marketing expertise to our independent advisors’ practices. We are also keenly focused on growing ChangePath and the breadth of their independent advisors,” said Hyman.
