Effective immediately, Watershed's consulting and research operations will be seamlessly integrated into Ellwood, while remaining in the firm's Greenwood Village location, outside of Denver. Watershed's three principals – including Dale Connors, Paul Schreder and Kevin Yoshida – will now serve as senior consultants with equity positions in Chicago-based Ellwood Associates, which is 100% employee-owned through an ESOP structure. With the completion of the Watershed acquisition, the firm now has a total of $56 Billion in Assets Under Advisement.
According to Russell Hill, Ellwood's Chairman and CEO, "This combination will benefit the clients of both firms. Our existing Ellwood clients will gain from the addition of three highly respected investment professionals with decades of experience, who share our core values and standards of client service. Former Watershed clients will gain from the professional depth and operational and research resources that Ellwood has established over the past 39 years."
