NEW YORK, US and LONDON, UK – EQS Newswire – March 22, 2021 – Focus Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:FOCS) (“Focus”), a leading partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms, announced today that it launched Beryllus Capital in a joint venture with the Hinduja Group, one of the world’s leading, diversified conglomerates with businesses spanning 11 industry sectors across 38 countries.
Beryllus Capital is a multi-family office that will cater to some of the most prominent families in the world through offices in London, Geneva and Singapore. The firm will provide advice and integrated strategies for managing its clients’ investments, philanthropic endeavors and legacies.

Founded by four well-known senior wealth advisors who recognize the value of an independent, global, open-architecture approach, Beryllus Capital will be led by Amit Kotha, a founder and veteran senior wealth advisor based in London. Kotha previously held leadership positions at a global banking and wealth management institution in the U.K., most recently as a Managing Director of that firm’s Enterprise Strategic Clients business, advising ultra-high net worth families in the U.K., Middle East and South East Asia.

With the backing of clients with whom I have worked with for many years, as well as Focus Financial Partners, a leader in independent wealth management, I am confident that Beryllus Capital will establish a new standard for multi-family offices worldwide.”
