Lido Advisors, LLC (Lido), a leading wealth management firm for high-net-worth individuals, announced today a signed agreement to partner with Colorado Financial Management (CFM), deepening Lidoâs family office offering and Mountain West presence with a highly strategic partner.
CFM is a Colorado-based independent registered investment advisor (RIA) offering comprehensive financial planning and personalized investment management. Founded in 1988, CFM has cultivated deep roots across the Colorado community, with offices in Denver, Boulder, and Loveland, as well as recognition as one of Boulderâs oldest and largest RIAs. The firmâs 26 advisors, professionals, and associates, all of whom will remain following the transaction, manage approximately $2 billion in assets on behalf of a diverse group of primarily high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutions across Colorado and the United States.
“At Lido, we’re always looking for entrepreneurial and culturally aligned partners who can help us continue to build a preeminent wealth management firm,” said Jason Ozur, Lido’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are not motivated to achieve scale for the sake of scale. Instead, we seek firms that want to be true partners with a voice and the opportunity to be additive to Lidoâs evolution. CFMâs growth-focused, tenured, and highly credentialed team is exactly that type of firm.”
Ken Stern, President of Lido Advisors, added, âWe couldnât have found a better partner to help Lido deepen its presence in the Mountain West. Managing the complexities of growing and protecting clientsâ legacies is extremely challenging, requiring a team with skill, experience and passion. We look forward to joining forces with CFM and making a difference for our clients, our team, and our communities.â
âWe chose to partner with Lido because of the strong alignment between our firms. Like CFM, Lido has a client-centric approach that considers estate, tax, and investment management with care and transparency for every client,â said Brad Bickham, Managing Partner of CFM. âLidoâs family office approach and commitment to partnership deeply resonated with our team and our vision for our clients. We look forward to staying true to our roots as a local fiduciary while generating a greater impact for our clientsâ lives and legacies.â
The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
