Corient has announced plans to expand into Canada, launching under the Corient brand in June 2026 subject to regulatory approvals. The expansion will make Corient the largest non-bank wealth manager and largest multi-family office focused on ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families in North America.
Corient will enter Canada with approximately C$10 billion in assets from previously acquired firms Northwood Family Office and Coriel Capital, as well as select CI Private Wealth advisors joining the Corient partnership. Globally, Corient will manage and administer approximately C$650 billion in client assets following the Canadian launch, giving Canadian clients access to the firm’s scale, capabilities, and purchasing power. The Canadian offering will span investment management, wealth strategy, multi-generational planning, trust and estate planning, tax planning, personal CFO services, lending, and concierge services including private aviation and art management. Corient also offers cross-border expertise for Canadians with personal and business interests in other jurisdictions.
The Canadian expansion follows Corient’s previously announced agreements to acquire three leading European wealth management firms: Stonehage Fleming, Stanhope Capital Group, and the Bedrock Group, establishing a presence across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Upon close of those transactions and subject to regulatory approvals, Corient will become the world’s largest non-bank, fee-only wealth manager and the world’s largest multi-family office focused on ultra-high-net-worth clients globally, with anticipated combined client assets of approximately $475 billion. Founded six years ago, Corient operates as a fiduciary, fee-only firm under a private partnership model designed to eliminate internal conflicts and bring the full breadth of the firm’s expertise to every client relationship.
KEY QUOTES:
“We see a clear gap in the Canadian market for a global independent wealth manager capable of delivering the comprehensive advice required by wealthy individuals and families — including investment management, wealth strategy and family office solutions. Corient was purposely built to meet that need and close that gap.”
“Our partnership structure was carefully designed to foster collaboration over competition, in order to bring the full strength of the firm’s expertise and capabilities to every client relationship with zero internal friction.”
“In just six years, we have become the largest integrated wealth management firm in the U.S., are establishing a significant presence across EMEA, and are now entering Canada — not as a series of transactions, but as a deliberate global build.”
Kurt MacAlpine, Founding Partner and CEO, Corient
