Apollon Holdings has strategically strengthened its geographic footprint through a partnership with Maryland-based CIC Wealth Management.
The new partnership, forged through its subsidiary Apollon Wealth Management, strengthens Apollon’s presence in the Northeast region and adds a team of seasoned advisors with over 55 years of combined experience.
CIC Wealth Management, based in Rockville, Maryland, is led by Ryan Wibberley, Michael Fein, and Frank Cappadora. Through the partnership, the firm will join Apollon Wealth while continuing to offer holistic wealth management services. New team members from CIC include Judy Ann Byrd, Andy Smith, Rich Sebastian, Austin Pearl, and Dawn Wright.
“We’re thrilled to join Apollon Wealth Management and provide clients with state-of-the-art tools and leadership,” Wibberley said in a statement. “This marks an exciting chapter for CIC Wealth as we continue to work to help clients achieve their financial goals.”
In addition to the CIC Wealth partnership, Apollon Holdings has welcomed several new advisors across its other wealth management platforms.
