Perigon Builds In-House Growth Hub for $11 Billion RIA as It Deepens Long-Term Tech Partnerships

1 articles · Updated · Wealth Management · Aug 5

Summary

  • $11 billion RIA Perigon Wealth Management is building a proprietary “Growth Hub” to link marketing, business development, data and AI into one organic-growth platform for advisors.
  • Perigon says the strategy is to partner for scale and build only where it sees differentiation, favoring vendors that can evolve with the firm instead of chasing standalone features.
  • More than 160 employees now rely on a stack anchored by decade-plus relationships with Salesforce, Google Workspace, Box and Slack, plus Orion for reporting, portfolio management, trading and rebalancing.
  • Advisor choice remains wider in planning and custody: most use eMoney or MoneyGuidePro, while the firm keeps a multi-custodial model spanning Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing and Goldman Sachs.
  • AI is being layered onto that data foundation rather than bought as a quick fix, with Perigon citing a Slack-based meeting-prep assistant as a practical example of embedded use.
