Aaron Wealth Advisors is a registered independent advisory firm. It will offer wealth services to entrepreneurs, investors, multi-generational families, and family offices, it said in a statement.
The firm will be using Dynasty’s platform for independent advisors, which includes institutional research from Callan Associates. They will have access to technology including Dynasty’s proprietary advisor desktop, in-house specialists and home office support. Among its other resource partners, Aaron Wealth Advisors has selected Schwab to provide custody services for its clients’ assets and Addepar for consolidated asset and performance reporting.
Since 2006, Hirschberg worked at Goldman Sachs as a vice president and private wealth advisor and was a member of the advisor’s council at Goldman Sachs.
He is the chief executive and founding member of Aaron Wealth Advisors. Joining Hirschberg are the following professionals:
- David VanFossen, chief operating officer and chief compliance
officer, from BMO Harris;
- Bill Andrakakos, director of investments, from Northern
Trust; and
- Georgette Condos, director of client service and
experience, from Morgan Stanley.
“Independent firms stand apart as the most powerful force in the market, delivering far more customized, objective advice to clients than any other segment of the industry can,” said Shirl Penney, CEO of Dynasty Financial Partners. “On this note, Aaron Wealth Advisors represents everything that is great about the independent wealth management industry. We are extremely proud and excited to partner with a high caliber advisor like Gary and his remarkable team, and we welcome them to our network of independent advisors."
