“Over the last four years, we have grown Rockefeller Capital Management from its legacy as a family office to a diversified financial advisory firm, increasing our client assets under advisement from approximately $18 billion to over $85 billion of assets,” added Fleming. “We have surpassed our own aggressive targets and these appointments will position the Firm for continued disciplined growth and operational excellence in the years ahead.”
