Two Firms to Join Focus Partners

Baldwin's and GreenCourse’s respective teams of advisory professionals will become part of the Focus team upon completion of the transactions, which are both expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.

“With talented professionals and loyal clients, these well-respected firms align with Focus’s culture and evidence-based investment and advanced planning philosophy,” said Justin Ferri, chairman of Focus Partners. “With Baldwin we are expanding our presence in Florida, and with GreenCourse we are partnering with a Greater St. Louis area firm that we respect and have known for a long time. We welcome these two new teams to the Focus family.”

The Baldwin team will remain at its current location in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, while the GreenCourse team will serve clients from Focus’s headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.
