The firm acts as an outsourced chief investment officer and chief financial officer, serving as a trusted partner for those who seek objective advice on the entirety of their balance sheet.

“Caprock has become a recognized leader in the fast-growing multi-family office market,” said Clara Jackson, a Principal at TA who will join the Caprock Board of Directors. “This investment offers TA a compelling opportunity to partner with Caprock’s talented team to further scale the firm’s platform and solution set.”
