Seasoned industry executive fills leadership role at surging independent RIA firm led by James Bogart
Bogart Wealth, an award-winning, independent wealth management and Registered Investment Advisory firm, today announced that it has introduced Jeffrey Fuhrman, an experienced industry executive, to the team as President.
“We’re thrilled to announce Jeffrey Fuhrman as the new President of Bogart Wealth and introduce him to the team,” said James Bogart, CFP®, ChFC®, CEO & Founder of Bogart Wealth. “Jeff has an incredible track record of leading firms across a variety of industries through significant growth and transformation, and we’re confident that he’ll be an asset in aiding our growth efforts for years to come.”
As part of the hiring, James Bogart is relinquishing the President role to Fuhrman while maintaining the title of CEO & Founder.
“I’m very excited to join Bogart Wealth at such a defining time in its evolution,” said Fuhrman. “In getting to know James, I’ve been impressed with his dedication to client care, his commitment to a growth mindset, and his ambitious vision for the future. He has built an impressive organization, and I look forward to working alongside the team to contribute to its continued success.”
Bogart Wealth has experienced rapid organic growth in recent years, more than quadrupling assets under management (AUM) in the past 5 years while continuing to provide a high level of service to clients, including comprehensive financial planning and wealth management services. The firm now sits at approximately $3B in assets under advisement (AUA), including $2.7B AUM.
Bogart Wealth has also hired over 30 new staff members during that time period, growing the team with competent, credentialed professionals in order to serve their growing client base. This growth has been aided by the launch of the firm’s Advisor Growth Track (AGT), a professional growth and training program designed to help new and experienced talent thrive and grow under the mentorship of a fast-growing RIA firm in a collaborative, high-achieving environment.
In January 2025, Bogart Wealth closed on a minority, long-duration investment from Constellation Wealth Capital (CWC), a long-term strategic investor that provides capital solutions exclusively to wealth management businesses and multi-family offices, while remaining a proudly independent registered investment adviser (RIA)1 with employees being the overwhelming majority owners of the business. This minority investment in Bogart Wealth will be used to further enhance the firm’s client services, technology solutions, recruitment initiatives, marketing activities, and more.
