This planned expansion reflects Insigneo Wealths assessment of excess demand and limited supply within the regional private banking industry for high-net-worth households. The move signals an effort to broaden their reach beyond their existing presence in countries like Colombia, Argentina, and Chile.
Insigneo Wealth manages $38 billion in assets for 45,000 clients and employs over 500 professionals. The firm is looking to extend services to new wealth segments, specifically households with under $500,000 or between $10 million and $20 million in assets.
