Chicago-based Investment Advisory Firm Rothschild Wealth Partners Acquires Illinois-Based SNWA
Rothschild Wealth Partners, a renowned investment advisory firm based in Chicago, has made a strategic move by acquiring Siligmueller & Norvid Wealth Advisors (SNWA), an independent financial planning firm based in Illinois. This acquisition marks the latest development in Rothschild’s expansion efforts in the US, with a focus on partnering with firms that prioritize fiduciary principles and long-term client relationships.
Founded in 1998 by Dale Siligmueller, SNWA has grown to become a respected provider of financial advice to business owners, families, and high-net-worth individuals. The firm manages approximately $300 million in client assets, offering a comprehensive range of services that includes investment management, tax planning, estate planning, and generational wealth transfer.
According to Dale Siligmueller, founder and partner at SNWA, the decision to join forces with Rothschild Wealth Partners represents "a natural next step" for the firm. Siligmueller highlights that both firms share a commitment to independence, integrity, and putting clients first. With Rothschild’s resources and scale behind them, SNWA clients can expect an expanded suite of capabilities while maintaining the personal attention and trust that has always defined the firm.
Rothschild Wealth Partners, which was established in Chicago in 1908, boasts over 70 professionals, including 25 advisors who serve affluent families and business owners across the US. Phil Johnson, president and partner at Rothschild Wealth Partners, emphasizes that SNWA embodies "the type of firm we seek to partner with" – one that is deeply rooted in its community, client-centric, and built on integrity.
The acquisition by Rothschild Wealth Partners further solidifies the firm’s position as a leading provider of investment advisory services in the US. In a related development, the firm expanded its wealth management activities in Luxembourg earlier this year, aiming to enhance private banking services throughout Europe. Additionally, Rothschild acquired Zurich-based Tenalis through its Swiss Wealth Management arm, Rothschild & Co Bank, which strengthens its offerings in Switzerland.
Rothschild’s expansion initiatives reflect its commitment to providing clients with a comprehensive suite of financial planning and investment advisory services. With its extensive experience and expertise, the firm is well-positioned to navigate the complexities of global wealth management and offer expert counsel to its clients.
The integration of SNWA into Rothschild Wealth Partners is expected to bring numerous benefits to both firms’ clients. With an expanded range of services and resources available to them, clients can look forward to more tailored solutions that meet their specific needs.
Rothschild’s growth strategy in the US and Europe reflects the increasing demand for comprehensive wealth management services. As a leading player in the industry, Rothschild Wealth Partners is poised to continue its expansion efforts while remaining committed to the fiduciary principles and long-term relationships that have defined its business model.
