Louis Diamond Quoted
By Oisin Breen
Sanctuary Wealth just poached yet another breakaway, its 26th in the sixteen months since its founding in 2018.
The addition of Des Moines, Iowa-based PrairieFire Wealth Planning adds $100 million to Sanctuary’s sizeable asset haul, bringing the total to $10.1 billion.
Some 42% of the advisory practices that have joined Sanctuary come from Merrill.
It’s grown from zero to over $10 billion at lightning speed, so Sanctuary certainly has pull, says Louis Diamond, principal of New York-based consultancy, Diamond Consultants, via email.
“The model has proven to be interesting … and I also expect existing RIA firms who are fed up with running their own operation to gravitate to Sanctuary.”
