About Us
Sapient Capital, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser (RIA) providing investment management, wealth strategy, and family office services to multi-generational families, ultra high net worth individuals, endowments, and foundations. As a fiduciary to our clients, we build lasting relationships grounded in trust, transparency, and meaningful results.
Our journey began several decades ago, evolving from a municipal bond-focused practice to a diversified wealth management platform. Over the years, our team grew steadily, reaching key milestones such as employing 30+ professionals and managing about $8 billion of assets by the end of 2022. The launch of Sapient in 2023 as an independent RIA was one of the largest in the history of the industry. Since then, we have expanded our team, opened new offices, and enhanced our service offering to deliver a one-of-a-kind client experience.
