BATON ROUGE and LAFAYETTE: On Dec. 18, Acadian Capital Research, Kemp Family Office Services and Cypress Financial Solutions announced that they have merged to form Acadian Capital Group, a multi-family office and private market management firm specializing in an institutional approach to private markets and family wealth.
“We’ve been working on this merger for quite some time, and we’re extremely fortunate to finally announce that we’re joining forces with Kemp Family Office Services and Cypress Financial Solutions,” said Kyle “Skip” Boudreaux, managing partner and managing director of private market research at Acadian Capital Group, in a press release. “The ability for all sides of the “three-legged stool” to support each other and grow together are enormous, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
“This is a meaningful step forward – both for our clients and our team,” said Daniel Kemp, managing partner and managing director of family office services at Acadian Capital Group. “In bringing this team together and offering everything under one roof, we believe this will be a huge difference-maker for our clients and our portfolio companies.”
“Since our first engagement and subsequent work on the acquisition of Boykin Brothers last year, we’ve always known that there was a future where all our companies could combine to form a ‘super-group,’” said Gaines Garrett, managing partner and managing director of portfolio services at Acadian Capital Group. “Once we floated the idea of merging and received buy-in from our respective teams, we knew that the time was right to start the process.”
