London-based Skeet Kaye Hopkins (SKH) is to join forces with Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman (GR&F), a Los Angeles-based multifamily office and business management firm and member of the FocusFinancial Partners partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms.
Founded in 2012, SKH offers a broad range of services to ultra-high and high net worth clients in the entertainment industry. This transaction will allow SKH to leverage GR&F’s resources, enabling the SKH team to enhance the service offerings to their clients by providing U.S.-based expertise in multifamily office services, business management and tax services. This transaction further enhances GR&F’s clients’ experience by providing them with accessibility to multifamily office and business management services in the UK.
“We are excited to partner with GR&F and Focus and look forward to bringing our clients a more robust service offering,” says Mike Skeet, Founding Partner of SKH. “We have known Todd and his partners for many years and look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
“Mike, Jeff, and Simon have built an enduring business around doing what’s right for their clients. We have tremendous respect for them, and we are thrilled that they will be joining our team,” says Todd Gelfand, Chief Executive Officer of GR&F.
“This transaction will allow SKH and GR&F to join forces and together become an international leader in the multifamily office and business management space,” says Rudy Adolf, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Focus. “Expanding internationally is an important component of our growth strategy, while further enhancing our diversification. The partnership between SKH and GR&F increases our presence in the UK, while also building on our leadership position in the multifamily office and business management sectors. This transaction is further evidence of the scale and network benefits of our business, both in the US and internationally, to our partner firms.”
