Dallas-based RIA Ascentis Wealth Management added Ryan Uszenski, a St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands-based advisor with about $160 million in client assets, the firm said.
Uszenski, a 20-year industry veteran, serves entrepreneurs, startup founders, family offices and other high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients. He joins Ascentis as an Equity Partner.
Uszenski previously founded Century Wealth Advisors, an independent wealth management practice he launched in 2017. He holds the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor designation.
“Ryan has spent two decades building deep, complex client relationships, and he has done it on his own terms,” said Michael Mansur, CEO of Ascentis Wealth Management. “Joining as an equity partner gives him greater operational and investment support without changing what makes his practice distinctive, and it gives his clients access to a stronger platform. Practices like his are exactly what Ascentis was built for.”
“High-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients hold advisors to a higher standard, and the platform that supports you has to match that,” Uszenski said. “Ascentis gives me deeper investment capabilities and stronger infrastructure without forcing me to compromise the way I serve clients. That balance is difficult to find in this industry, and Ascentis is one of the few places that gets it right.”
The addition follows the launch earlier this year of Ascentis Holdings, a unified wealth management and asset management platform that includes RIAs Ascentis Wealth Management, Ascentis Asset Management and Ascentis Independent Advisors.
