Ancora, a Cleveland-based provider of comprehensive investment advisory, wealth management, employee benefits and insurance solutions to individuals and institutions nationwide, today announced a significant expansion of its presence in Chicago, Illinois, and Columbus, Ohio. This milestone reflects the firm’s continued growth and commitment to serving clients with greater proximity, accessibility and depth across the region.
“This expansion in both Chicago and Columbus strengthens our Midwestern presence and supports growing interest in our high-touch, boutique with scale approach,” said John Micklitsch, President. “With experienced professionals in these markets and the depth of our Cleveland and Detroit teams behind them, we are well positioned to serve clients across the region.”
The expansion is driven by growing demand for Ancora’s boutique at scale model that spans the full spectrum of wealth, providing clients with a coordinated and comprehensive approach to managing their financial lives. The expansion will serve both existing relationships and new clients in the Chicago and Columbus markets, while also supporting the company’s continued growth by attracting experienced advisors seeking a platform that combines independence, collaboration and institutional-quality resources.
“What truly differentiates Ancora’s Private Wealth team is the collective strength behind every client relationship,” said John Bartels, President of Private Wealth. “Our expansion into Chicago and Columbus reflects not only geographic growth, but the power of a deeply experienced, collaborative team that delivers sophisticated, personalized guidance with the full resources of our firm behind it. We want our clients across the Midwest to feel confident knowing they have a dedicated local advisor supported by the breadth, scale and expertise of our entire platform.”
Since opening its doors in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2003, Ancora has grown into a team of more than 100 people with more than $11 billion in client assets. The firm is regularly quoted by the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Bloomberg and is well-known for a history of successful activist campaigns. Today, the firm delivers integrated wealth solutions supported by a broad and experienced team, with capabilities that include proprietary investment strategies allowing the company to provide differentiated solutions across a wide range of client needs, while remaining grounded in the Midwestern values that have shaped the firm since its inception. Those same values power a culture that has ranked Ancora a Top Workplace in the region each year since 2015.
