The Firm

An investment bank built for wealth management

Nesvold Capital Partners specializes in M&A advisory and merchant banking for wealth management and its broader ecosystem.

Why firms choose us

Senior bankers, a single industry focus, and capital of our own

That combination is rare among wealth management advisors.

One industry, deep relationships

Wealth management is all we do. Our principals have advised or invested in firms managing over $1 trillion of client assets.

M&A specialists first

Four McGraw-Hill books on M&A. Peter teaches mergers, acquisitions, and LBOs at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business.

Senior-led from day one

Peter Nesvold and Ruotao Wang lead engagements personally, from the first conversation through closing.

The right counterparties, not every one

A curated list of pre-vetted, qualified buyers or investors. We avoid overlapping engagements with competing firms.

We have sat in your seat

Peter helped scale Silver Lane Advisors from startup through its sale to a Fortune 500 company, and serves on wealth management boards today.

Advice informed by capital

As principal investors ourselves, we know what capital partners look for and how minority deals are built.

How we manage conflicts

We define our role up front

Because we do both, we hold ourselves to simple rules that keep our interests aligned with our clients’.

When we advise

M&A advisory

  • Larger transactions, where a competitive process creates the most value
  • We represent our client, and only our client
  • We run a curated process across pre-vetted, qualified buyers or investors
When we invest

Principal investing

  • Smaller, targeted capital needs, where a full process would be out of proportion
  • NCP invests its own capital as a supportive minority partner
  • Management keeps control; we take a long-term view

Role set by deal size

The amount of capital changing hands typically determines whether we act as your advisor or your investor.

Role defined up front

At the outset of every engagement, we agree with you whether we are acting as your advisor or your investor.

No competing mandates

We avoid overlapping engagements with firms that compete with our clients.
