Perella Weinberg
Firm History

Perella Weinberg Partners was established in 2006 by Joseph Perella, Terry Meguid and Peter Weinberg. The Firm was formed in response to an increasing need for truly independent and unbiased advice relating to critical strategic, financial and investment decisions. Our professionals share an uncompromised dedication to excellence and integrity worldwide, and together we advise clients on complex strategic transactions and provide institutions and individuals a first-class alternative investment platform. We are a privately-owned, client-focused firm that embraces a solutions oriented approach. 

 

The Firm's Partners all have significant experience and tenure in the financial services industry. Our Partners share a common vision based on integrity, professionalism and trust, along with a primary commitment to serving the interests of our clients.

 

The Firm raised over $1 billion from 2005 to 2006 from a group of global strategic investors to establish operations and to fund investment strategies in the Firm's asset management business.

 

These strategic investors, along with the Firm's Partners and its Advisory Council, form the nucleus of a unique network of global relationships. Our goal is to benefit clients by leveraging this extensive network and harnessing the intellectual capital inherent in each of our businesses.
