We are excited to bring this talented group on board and provide added support for our clients.”

NewEdge has grown rapidly since it was established, in partnership with EdgeCo Holdings, in December 2020.

Collectively, NewEdge is seeking to provide high-quality service, dynamic wealth management insight and expertise, and a customized experience for its client group. NewEdge Wealth is a division of NewEdge Capital Group, which currently has $26 billion in client assets.

“NewEdge is at an exciting and pivotal period of growth, driven by our commitment to client service,” said Rob Sechan, Managing Partner, Co-Founder of NewEdge Wealth. “We are exceedingly confident that our newest team members will propel our growth and are eager to leverage their respective insights and expertise for our clients.”

Ackerman and Fay will be based in NewEdge’s Connecticut office, while Kim will split time between Connecticut and Southern California. All three team members joined NewEdge in the last month.
