Arax Investment Partners

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.

We are building a differentiated partnership platform positioned to capitalize on the well-defined trends, and complementary investment opportunities, in the highly fragmented wealth management space.

Who We Want To Partner With

Arax seeks to partner with leading asset and wealth management firms as well as financial advisory teams that are looking 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.
