Crewe is a Salt Lake City-based registered investment adviser with roughly $3.3 billion in assets under management as of June 2, 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Why now? The deal is expected to close this month, subject to customary closing conditions.
WPCG invests in and partners with leading wealth management firms, offering capital, organic growth, and merger expertise. HGGC, based in Palo Alto, manages over $10 billion in assets.
The partnership gives Crewe — which also runs an office in Scottsdale, Arizona — backing to fund expansion and acquire other advisory practices.
What could go wrong? Integrating acquired firms is rarely smooth, and consolidation can strain culture and client relationships.
With terms undisclosed, it is also hard to judge how the economics shake out for Crewe's advisers and clients.
The signal: The deal slots into a broader wave of private capital flowing into US wealth management, where backers like WPCG and HGGC — the latter managing over $10 billion in assets — are assembling platforms to consolidate a fragmented field of independent advisers. For an early-stage firm like Crewe, pitching independent wealth management for high-net-worth families, the partnership supplies the capital and M&A muscle to compete in a market increasingly defined by scale.
