The firm’s new name reflects the growth and evolution of Cresset Partners as an independent entity.
CHICAGO – Feb. 11, 2025 – Cresset Partners announced today that it has been renamed Peakline Partners (Peakline). As Peakline, the firm will continue to execute on its core strategies to serve its growing base of investors, including families, family offices, and clients of Cresset Asset Management and other wealth advisors. Peakline will retain its same experienced team and deep level of private markets expertise.
“As our business has matured and the market has expanded, the time is right for Peakline to stand on its own as an independent private investments business. We will continue to rely on our extensive industry knowledge, large professional networks, and relationships with Cresset and the broader private wealth and family office market to access compelling private market opportunities,” said Bill Rudnick, Executive Managing Director of Peakline. “The firm was created in conjunction with Cresset Asset Management to address the complex needs of successful business owners, entrepreneurs, and multi-generational families of wealth. As we have grown, we believe that the need to provide access to high-quality private investments has grown substantially. With our meaningful scale, Peakline is well-positioned to address that need.”
Highlighting the firm’s track record of success across a range of private market asset classes, Chris Boehm, Executive Managing Director of Peakline, added, “We founded Peakline with a commitment to provide our investors with direct, curated private investment opportunities where we bring unique insights and experience to create value. Within seven years, Peakline’s fund offerings have committed in excess of $3.7 billion across real estate, private equity, private credit, venture capital, and other alternative asset classes. Building on this strong foundation, we are excited about Peakline’s future and the opportunity to contribute to long-term growth in private markets and to facilitate the increasing adoption of alternative assets by families and wealth advisors.”
