Founded By Families, For Families

Managing Wealth so You Can Focus on What Matters Most

Our Story

Cresset was founded with a bold yet clear vision: to reinvent the way our clients experience wealth.  That vision is clearly resonating, as today Cresset manages more than $65 billion in assets and is an award-winning multi-family office that is recognized as a top firm by Forbes, Barron’s and many others.

Motivated by the limitations of traditional wealth management, Cresset was built to serve our client families for generations to come. We have a 100-year mission and are committed to fundamentally redefining the client experience, allowing our client families to achieve the legacy they desire and focus on what matters most to them. As a client- and employee-owned multi-family office, we are guided by our True Fiduciary® Standards and are committed to always serve in the best interests of our clients.
