IPI Acquired By Campden Media

The Institute for Private Investors has been acquired by Campden Media, a UK-based publisher.

IPI will keep its name and operate as a separate brand under Campden.  President Kristi Kuechler has resigned and her post will not be filled. Mindy Rosenthal, managing director for North America at Campden, will take on the additional responsibility of Kuechler’s duties.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Campden, among other services, organizes conferences to facilitate networking among ultra wealthy families in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Russia as well as the US.

Founded in 1991 by Charlotte Beyer, chief executive, membership organization IPI includes 1,100 ultra high-net-worth investors, mainly in the US. New York-based IPI provides networking, education and research to its members.

The acquisition will link financial and business-owning families around the world, representing over $200 billion in assets, Campden said.

“As IPI members become more global with cross-border interests, the affiliation with Campden takes us to the next level,” Beyer said. “Together, IPI and Campden will continue to offer a safe harbor dedicated to education and community.”
