Two of Seattle’s largest privately held registered investment advisory firms, Laird Norton Wealth Management, which managed $1.77 billion, and Filament, which managed $2 billion, have merged.
The newly merged firm will retain the Laird Norton name. The firm is a subsidiary of seventh-generation family-owned Laird Norton Co.
Kristen Bauer, CEO of Laird Norton Wealth Management, will serve as CEO of the combined firm. Filament’s three co-founders and senior leaders, Scott Butterfield, Conrad Gehrmann and John Goodwin, will serve on an expanded LNWM board of directors and in executive management roles.
