The Georgia Department of Economic Development announced that AssetMark, Inc., an independent provider of investment and consulting solutions for financial advisors, will create 13 jobs in a new East Coast software development office in Atlanta.
 
“Congratulations to AssetMark on their new software development office,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Atlanta’s talented workforce will surely meet the needs of this innovative company and I look forward to their success.”
 
AssetMark is a leading turnkey asset management provider. The California-based company has approximately $47.5 billion in assets on its platform as of September 30th, 2018, and recently agreed to buy Global Financial Private Capital, a $5.7 billion RIA that provides outsourcing services to approximately 200 advisors.

“Our excitement about this new office is twofold,” said Charles Goldman, President and CEO of AssetMark. “This expansion is a strategic investment in future AssetMark technology initiatives, and we are proud to play a part in the creation of economic opportunity in an Opportunity Zone in Georgia.”
 
“The work we’re planning in Atlanta will support a full range of technology functions, including application development for our industry-leading advisor technologies, infrastructure, and network services, as well as security operations,” said AssetMark’s Chief Information Officer Muk Mehta.
 
“Congratulations to AssetMark on the selection of downtown Atlanta for their new office,” said Hala Moddelmog, president and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “As innovators and thought leaders in the asset management industry, they are a welcome addition to metro Atlanta’s thriving financial services ecosystem.”
