Industry veteran John Krambeer today announced that he and his team have launched a new wealth management firm called Validus Capital, LLC.
Based in Los Angeles, Validus Capital is an independent firm with a team leveraging decades of combined experience to help successful entrepreneurs and multi-generational families manage the challenges and complexities of wealth through comprehensive advisory, wealth management, alternative investment access and bespoke family office services.
Validus will be led by John Krambeer, who is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Krambeer has 30 years of industry experience and has been recognized by Barron’s as a Top 100 Independent Wealth Advisor and one of America’s Top Financial Advisors. Prior to Validus, Mr. Krambeer founded Camden Capital in 2004 and served as Chief Executive Officer and Partner of the firm, where he provided wealthy families with strategic investment advice and portfolio design guidance and led the development of the private fund platform.
“We care deeply about the well-being of each client we serve, and we collaborate as stewards to help manage the complexities of financial life and achieve their unique and evolving goals,” said Mr. Krambeer. “That is why we created Validus – to continue to serve the best interests of clients across every aspect of their financial life.”
Mr. Krambeer will be joined by Matthew Schulz as Managing Partner, and a highly experienced and knowledgeable team of investment, planning and client service professionals. The team will be supported by advanced technologies, comprehensive reporting tools, and leading custodial and compliance partners.
“We have built an incredible team of dedicated professionals and have cultivated an expansive network of trusted partners,” said Mr. Schulz. “Our path forward will be driven by our unwavering commitment to helping our clients – from the team’s relentless pursuit of service excellence to the protection and growth of client assets.”
“Validus is the next chapter in our journey as independent investment advisors,” said Krambeer. “We believe deeply in Validus’s mission as a fiduciary, and we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for our clients, as we create a new trail to help them pursue and fulfill their passions, purpose and legacy.”
ECHELON Partners advised Krambeer on the new endeavor. “John is one of the most seasoned entrepreneurs in the Wealth Management Industry and has assembled a powerful team to help his clients achieve their goals,” said Dan Seivert, CEO at ECHELON Partners. “He possesses a rare combination of investment savvy and emotional intelligence which lead to top tier service and results for the families that work with him.
