Kandor, which serves international clients, comes under Summit s custom capital model, launched in January.
Summit Financial has taken a minority, non-controlling stake in Kandor Global, a Miami-based registered investment advisor with $450 million in client assets. The firm joins under its new custom capital model, Summit Growth Partners, which was launched in January with the help of Merchant Investment Management.
Kandor, which specializes in serving the Latin American business community, represents Summit’s 13th such investment and its first aimed at serving international clients. The RIA was launched late last year by CEO Guillermo Vernet, who stepped down from his role as head of Insigneo Wealth Advisors, the RIA owned by Insigneo Financial Group, a financial services firm that specializes in serving non-U.S. clients.
