Constellation invests in Connecticut RIA Procyon Partners
Alternative asset management platform Constellation Wealth Capital (CWC) has purchased a minority stake in Connecticut-based RIA Procyon Partners.
This investment is expected to facilitate growth and operational scaling for Procyon Partners, allowing the firm to recruit professionals and extend its reach into new markets.
Procyon Partners currently manages over $8bn in client assets and has offices in Connecticut, New York City, Long Island, Tennessee, and Maryland.
The firm focuses on institutional retirement consulting and private wealth management, assisting clients in the design, management, and optimisation of their financial strategies.
Procyon Partners CEO and co-founder Phil Fiore said: “CWC shares our commitment to client-first values, innovation, and long-term partnership.
“With their support, we’re positioned to accelerate our growth while continuing to deliver the exceptional, independent advice our clients have come to trust.”
The resources and capital from CWC will enable Procyon Partners to widen its capabilities, improve advisor support, and establish new offices across major US markets.
Procyon Partners will continue to operate independently, maintaining its focus on fiduciary responsibilities and client relationships. The firm is supported by its back-office partner, Dynasty Financial Partners.
Constellation Wealth Capital president and managing partner Karl Heckenberg said: “heir team has built a compelling, advisor-driven business with a clear growth trajectory. We look forward to partnering with them as they continue to redefine excellence in independent wealth management.”
Houlihan Lokey was the investment banking advisor for Procyon Partners during this transaction, while Dynasty Investment Bank provided support to the management team throughout the process.
In January this year, Virginia-based RIA Bogart Wealth received a minority investment from Constellation to enhance client services, technology, hiring, and marketing efforts while maintaining its independence.

Cyclosporiasis outbreak prompts food safety concerns in Connecticut
ROCKY HILL, Conn. (WFSB) – People like Dena Pizzoferrato are changing what they put in their grocery carts after hearing about a cyclosporiasis outbreak.
“I’m kind of a little nervous so I’m looking to see what I buy right now,” Pizzoferrato said. “Today I didn’t buy any lettuce. I said I’m OK for now.”
Doctors say the illness is spread through parasites that make their way onto fresh produce. There have been 23 reported cases in Connecticut since May, but the CDC says the number is likely higher. Across the country, more than 840 cases and 86 hospitalizations have been reported in 31 states.
Symptoms include diarrhea and nausea that can last days to weeks. Doctors have not identified a source for the outbreak.
Dr. Ulysses Wu, chief epidemiologist at Hartford HealthCare, said a range of produce could be contaminated.
“Typical things you would think are vegetables or fruits. In the past, it’s been raspberries, basil, cilantro. You may find it in lettuces, bagged salads. So it’s a variety of things that can be contaminated, but they have not found it at this time,” said Wu.
Wu said residents should take precautions with their produce. “Take precautions with your fruit and your produce. We give the same advice when people go overseas that you should always peel something. You should always boil something,” he said.
Doctors also recommend washing produce thoroughly if boiling is not an option, and washing hands regularly.
