They then allocate markets, determine the investment style and select either an internal or an external manager. As a socially responsible investor, the firm pays close attention to the corporate governance practices of the companies in which they invest and exercises their shareholder rights by voting at their general meetings.

Silvercrest Asset Management Group is an independent, employee-owned, registered investment advisor which provides asset management and family office services to families and select institutional investors. Silvercrest combines the client-focused service which was the hallmark of private banks and investment counsel firms in an earlier age with state of the art theories of portfolio construction, risk management and diversification. Silvercrest's professionals have dedicated their careers to wealth management and our Managing Directors, who average more than 25 years of wealth management experience, have advised their clients through the boom of bull markets and the gloom of bear markets. We are not swayed by market manias. We are only interested in seeing our clients' assets invested in a manner consistent with their tolerance for risk. Silvercrest currently advises on $11.2 billion* for a clientele comprised primarily of families, as well as endowments, foundations and other institutional investors. Silvercrest's family office, advisory and investment capabilities are available to clients interested in investing substantial assets. Silvercrest is free from the numerous conflicts of interest inherent to larger organizations. Our size, our employee ownership and our collegial culture-coupled with the spirit, camaraderie and character of our organization-stand in sharp contrast to much of Wall Street and the financial services industry. We enjoy working with one another and we enjoy working with our clients. The quality, integrity and independence of our advice, coupled with our unwavering commitment to client service, sets us apart in a crowded field.
