LCK Wealth Management - formerly part of Merrill Lynch Wealth
Management’s private banking and investment group - has joined the partnership of firms in New
York. LCK Wealth Management provides wealth management and investment services
for families, trusts, foundations, charitable organizations and other
non-profit entities. The firm is led by Laurie Kamhi, who joins HighTower
as a partner and managing director. Also on the team, which manages
$320 million in client assets, is senior financial
analyst Christine Torrey and senior private wealth associate Karman Tong. Kamhi has more than 30 years of experience in investing,
private wealth management and institutional trading and sales. Only last week did HighTower
add The Andriole Group to its partnership, having also recruited Melville, NY-based Klein Wealth
Management two weeks prior. LCK is the 41st team to transition
to the HighTower partnership since the firm’s inception in 2008. HighTower is an advisor-owned financial services company serving high net worth and institutional clients. The company is headquartered in Chicago, IL, but has corporate centers in New York and San Francisco, CA, as well as other offices across the US.
