Arax Investment Partners

A multi-firm wealth platform elevating our partners to deliver industry-leading financial services to their clients.

Our Mission

Advising families, empowering institutions, and investing capital requires expertise but also a deeply embedded respect for the responsibility bestowed upon us. Without the recognition of this obligation, expertise can ring hollow. Arax seeks to find the best financial advisors and investors who are resolute in the combination of these characteristics.

Who We Are

Arax Investment Partners, a RedBird Capital Partners portfolio company, combines Arax’s seasoned wealth management team’s vision with RedBird’s strong track record, expertise, and network in the Financial Services sector. We are building a differentiated platform that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on secular tailwinds in the industry.

Who We Partner With

Arax partners with leading asset and wealth management firms as well as financial advisory teams that look for a unique and customized approach in the wealth management space. Our C-Suite offers years of experience and a deep understanding of the salience of the relationship between a client and their advisor.

Arax Value

The extended Arax and RedBird ecosystem gives access to differentiated products including alternatives, MFO capabilities, and managed solutions. We also provide ancillary services such as high and ultra-high net worth tax and estate planning, in-house insurance services, trust services, and credit and lending options. Our advisors have access to hybrid BD and multi-custodial RIA verticals to support a full range of service models and are granted access to our integrated asset management arm, enhancing client portfolios with proven strategies.

Tax & Estate Services

We also have vetted external and custodial partners that offer trust services, credit, and lending options. We are constantly evaluating potential ancillary products and services that would add value to the platform’s operations.
