Signature Wealth Group Earns a Spot on SC's 50 Fastest Growing Companies

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At a packed luncheon this week in Columbia, Signature Wealth Group was named one of South Carolina's 50 Fastest Growing Companies. Over the course of the event, South Carolina's entrepreneurial community gathered to celebrate revenue momentum, job creation, and bold leadership across the state.

Hosted by Integrated Media Publishing (publishers of Greenville Business Magazine, Charleston Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, B2B Pee Dee Business, and B2B: The Grand Strand), the annual program recognizes organizations driving economic growth. This year's celebration brought together business and civic leaders, featuring remarks from Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette and honoring companies that have demonstrated sustained success, job creation, and community investment.

"Our growth reflects the trust of our clients and the shared commitment of our advisors," said Bary Dedge, President of Signature Wealth Group. "We've built a model that gives advisors the support and resources of a large firm, while preserving the independence and local connection that make our communities strong. This recognition is a testament to that balance and to our team's relentless focus on doing what's right for the families we serve."

Founded in Florence, South Carolina, Signature Wealth Group has grown from a single practice into a regional firm serving more than 3,500 families across the Southeast. The group manages approximately $2.5 billion in assets with a team of 60 advisors and concierge support professionals who collaborate to deliver holistic wealth planning.

Aligned with Raymond James Financial Services, Signature Wealth combines the depth of a national financial network with the personalized service of a local advisory team. Its growth reflects both the strength of its client relationships and its commitment to developing independent advisors who want to build enduring practices within their communities.
