About

Cresset Asset Management is a multi-disciplinary investment adviser that manages approximately $78.9 billion in client assets and serves individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, retirement plans, corporations, and pooled investment vehicles. Its services include wealth management and financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, retirement plan consulting, family office services through an affiliate, and advisory services to private funds.

The firm describes a disciplined, risk-aware approach that combines strategic asset allocation, manager selection, and both active and passive implementation across public equities, fixed income and a range of alternatives (including private equity, private credit, real estate and digital assets). The brochure also discloses the use of third‑party managers and newer tools such as artificial intelligence and machine‑learning for research and analysis, while highlighting continued monitoring and periodic client reviews.

Cresset’s profile includes several features that distinguish it from many peers: it sponsors and advises private funds (including carried‑interest arrangements), operates a wrap‑fee program that is generally closed to new clients with certain grandfathered participants, and discloses legacy client transfers and related fee differences from predecessor advisers. The firm is also part of a broader affiliate network—which includes a South Dakota trust company, a Michigan non‑depository bank with trust powers, a pension consulting affiliate acquired via Monticello, and an affiliated insurance brokerage—and the brochure expressly notes use of derivatives and hedging that, in some cases, may trigger Commodity Futures Trading Commission registration or other commodity‑trading considerations.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
