Personal Portfolio, a wealth management firm based in Redwood City, Ca. overseeing more than $300MM in client assets, has moved its assets under advisement to hybrid independent broker/dealer Arkadios Capital.
Led by John H. McKee, CPA, a successful accountant who transitioned to wealth management more than 30 years ago, Personal Portfolio provides services to 800 client households.
“Arkadios delivers high-level personal service,” McKee said. “Throughout my due diligence process, I found them to be flexible and accommodating and willing to work with us to find solutions.”
After co-founding one of the fastest-growing RIAs in the county, ACG Wealth, David Millican launched Arkadios as an alternative to the ongoing commoditization in the industry. The boutique firm specializes in supporting high quality, professional and growth oriented wealth management firms. Its team is able to avoid the “one-size-fits all” approach to supporting an advisor’s business, which allows them to work harder to fully understand their unique needs.
“We created Arkadios to serve successful advisors like John, who have grown their businesses using the traditional avenues but are in a position to reach the next level with the right partner,” said David Millican, Founder and CEO of Arkadios Capital. “John and his team talked to several independent broker-dealers, and we are thrilled they chose to move to our growing platform.”
Atlanta-based Arkadios has grown to more than $4.25B in assets on its platform and more than tripled its revenue. It has been named the fastest-growing IBD in the country by Investment News, and Financial Planning ranks Arkadios among the top IBDs in the United States.
