CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Mather Group, LLC (TMG), a wealth management firm with 15 offices across the country and more than $11.6 billion in combined assets under management (AUM) and assets under advisement (AUA) as of 3/31/23, has announced its hiring of Stuart Evans as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO).
Evans brings nearly 30 years of industry experience in compliance, operations, and mergers and acquisitions, as well as the credential of being an Investment Advisor Certified Compliance Professional (IACCP®). Most recently, he was CCO for Cerity Partners, an investment adviser with more than 450 employees and $45 billion in AUM. He had been with Cerity since January 2020, when it acquired Executive Monetary Management and Sage Advisors, for whom Evans had served as CCO since 2016. Previously, he also held the CCO role with Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management.
As CCO at TMG, Evans will manage and coordinate all activities related to compliance with the firm’s regulatory requirements as a federally registered investment adviser. “We’ve always believed in the importance of fostering a strong culture of compliance at TMG, and Stu is going to be instrumental in helping us maintain and improve upon that,” said TMG CEO Chris Behrens. “Stu brings a level of experience that is exactly what our firm needs as we navigate the dynamic regulatory environment while also growing rapidly. And, as a seasoned industry executive, his knowledge and skills will also be valuable on our leadership team.”
TMG has been recognized by a variety of business and financial publications for its growth and standing in the industry. The firm was #49 on Barron’s 2022 list of Top 100 RIA Firms and ranked #22 on both Financial Advisor’s 2022 Top 50 Fastest-Growing Firms and Crain’s Chicago Business 2022 Fast 50. TMG has also been among the Best Places to Work in Money Management, as announced by Pensions & Investments (P&I), for two consecutive years. (Rankings are based on voluntary, non-fee-paying surveys. Each organization establishes its own criteria for inclusion.)
The firm offers a comprehensive range of in-house services, including financial planning, tax advice and preparation, portfolio management, concentrated stock management, risk assessment, and estate planning guidance. Investment recommendations are not tied to commissions. Clients pay for the firm's experienced advice on a fee-only basis, typically as a percentage of assets under management. This approach helps align the interests of the firm with the client.
