The Company provides comprehensive financial planning services, as well as investment management services through its Cambridge affiliate.

Investment Summary
Charlesbank invested in Perspective in 2024, alongside the Company’s management team who remain significant shareholders. The transaction is the result of a multi-year thematic initiative in the UK wealth management market focused on client-centric, advice-focused platforms, which leveraged our deep experience in US wealth management and its registered investment advisor (RIA) segment. We believe that our partnership will enable Perspective to scale its M&A activity, further enhance organic growth, and strategically invest in central operations to continue scaling the platform.
