CWC has made eight strategic investments out of its inaugural fund since inception in wealth management firms, including AlphaCore Wealth Advisory, AlTi Tiedemann Global, Avior Wealth Management, Cresset Capital Management, CV Advisors, Lido Advisors, Perigon Wealth Management, and Requisite Capital Management.
