Kandor Global, the Miami based RIA serving ultra-high-net-worth clients worldwide, has announced the addition of four new recruits that will strengthen the Investments and Reporting teams to enhance services to international clients. In a press release, the firm has also revealed that it has amassed 500 million dollars in assets under management after just a year of its launch.
One of the new recruits is Santiago Torres, who joins as an Associate in the Private Investments division. He previously accumulated 5 years of experience with Global Seguros de Vida, one of the largest institutional investors in the private markets sector of Colombia. “Kandor Global is confident that his experience will ensure best practices, spanning from due diligence to implementation, from an institutional perspective”, said the company. To support him in this mission joins Santiago López Zapata, who previously worked at Banco de Bogotá.
“Currently, the team has managed investments in 80 funds and we expect this number to increase as our clients have shown a strong interest in private investments due to performance and ability of a true long term investment. Our sharp and experienced team can effectively offer our clients a broad portfolio of managers while managing the processes efficiently for all parties involved”, stated Guillermo Vernet, Founder & CEO of Kandor Global.
Two additional members now reinforce the reporting team that manages a holistic view of the clients’ investments by using Addepar: Santiago López Cardona and Gabriela Díaz. According to the firm, their technological savviness will contribute to maximizing the use of Kandor Global’s current tools and incorporating others necessary in providing custom reports to clients.
“Since our launch, our focus has been in creating a strong, agile and enthusiastic team. We’re an effective team of 15 members spanning different locations in the U.S., Colombia, and Spain. In the next steps of expanding the business, we are avidly recruiting new advisors and focusing on intensive due diligence for domestic and international acquisitions,” added Vernet.
Kandor Global serves ultra-high-net-worth clients worldwide through a wide array of services: multi-family office, wealth management and private markets consulting. The firm is headquartered in Miami with an extended reach across Latin America and Europe. It is supported by Summit Growth Partners, LLC (“SGP), a partnership between Summit Financial Holdings and Merchant Investment Management.
