Aspen Standard Wealth Acquires SKY Investment Group, an $880 Million AUM RIA in Hartford

Aspen creates permanent partnerships by investing in the long-term growth of successful RIAs

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aspen Standard Wealth, LLC (“Aspen”), a long-term partner and permanent home for successful independent advisory firms, today announced its acquisition of SKY Investment Group, LLC (“SKY”), a Hartford, Connecticut-based RIA with $880 million in assets under management (AUM).

Founded in 2005, SKY is an independent, research-driven money management firm that provides investment management and related wealth management services to individuals, families, businesses, and institutions. The firm is particularly known for its work with family principals who prioritize multigenerational education and the responsible transfer of wealth.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Aspen and to work together to develop the next stage of SKY’s growth story,” said Robert Bingham, CFA, firm Founder and Chief Investment Officer. “In Aspen, we’ve found a durable platform and a partner that respects our legacy, culture, and long-term vision for the future—and that is incredibly reassuring and empowering.”

Aspen takes a differentiated approach to RIA partnerships: it does not buy to sell, instead investing in enduring partnerships that preserve firm identity, empower leadership, and drive sustainable growth.

“SKY is exactly the kind of firm we built Aspen for—deeply client-centric, values-led, and forward-thinking,” said Aly Kassim-Lakha, CEO of Aspen. “We’re honored to support their next phase of growth with long-term capital, infrastructure, and partnership.”

Aspen’s acquisition of SKY represents the third acquisition that Aspen has completed. Previous acquisitions include New England Private Wealth Advisors, LLC, and Summitry, LLC.
