Siena Investments Will Join Buckingham Strategic Wealth
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Buckingham Strategic Wealth, LLC ("Buckingham" or "Buckingham Strategic Wealth") today announced that Siena Capital Management, LLC, d/b/a Siena Investments ("Siena"), a registered investment advisor with offices in Grand Ledge and Williamston, Michigan will join Buckingham.
Founded in 2000 by Roger Millbrook and Stephen Hicks, Siena is a fee-only fiduciary firm offering wealth management services to executives and other professionals, business owners, and retirees and their families in the greater Lansing, Michigan area and beyond. The firm has been associated with Buckingham since 2000 through its partnership with Buckingham Strategic Partners, LLC, Buckingham's affiliated comprehensive wealth platform.
Siena will become part of Buckingham Strategic Wealth upon completion of the transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
"Roger and Stephen are well known to us and have helped clients, in part, by leveraging our comprehensive advisory solutions platform for 21 years," said Justin Ferri, Buckingham's Chief Operating Officer. "There has always been a natural cultural and philosophical fit between our firms due to our shared approach to evidence-based financial planning and wealth management. We foresee that the addition of Siena will provide us with significant opportunities to serve more clients with fiduciary advice as we continue to grow our presence in Michigan."
"At Siena, we work every day to create confidence among our clients that every facet of their financial lives plays a role when helping them plan for the future. We know that focusing on data, research and evidence over emotions helps to safeguard our clients' financial futures and realize their goals," said Roger Millbrook, one of Siena's founders. "Partnering with Buckingham was an obvious choice due to our shared philosophy of building and preserving wealth through sound financial planning, integrated tax services, and evidence-based portfolio management strategies."
"Through our experience with Buckingham over the years, we know the emphasis they place on relationships with clients. We have seen up close the deep level of service they provide and the caliber of talent across the firm that we can tap into for support," says Stephen Hicks, co-founder at Siena. "We're confident joining Buckingham will only deepen our commitment to our clients by allowing us to focus our time on our passions – servicing clients and helping them achieve their objectives."
Buckingham CEO Adam Birenbaum echoed that sentiment. "We share a guiding principle with Siena – the passion to serve. We are excited to have them join the Buckingham family. Roger, Stephen and their team will strengthen the services Buckingham offers to mutually benefit all of our clients."
