Shift Allows Firm to Leverage NewEdge Wealth’s Solutions for Complex and Sophisticated Client Needs

STAMFORD, Conn., MAY 12, 2025 — Jesse Christensen has joined NewEdge Wealth, LLC, a registered investment advisor specializing in servicing the needs of ultra high net worth families, family offices and institutional clients.

Christensen’s firm, Hudson Wealth Partners, grew to over $450 million in client assets serviced in just over a year, carving out a niche advising corporate executives on complex equity, tax and estate planning needs. The size and sophistication of his clients has expanded to a point where, by shifting to NewEdge Wealth, Christensen can continue scaling the practice with the support and solutions designed specifically for complex clients.

“Jesse’s incredible success in such a short period demonstrates the advantages of NewEdge Capital Group’s ability to support advisors as their client and growth needs evolve,” said Rob Sechan, Co-Founder and CEO of NewEdge Wealth. “When an advisor’s practice needs to change, they can pivot to take advantage of different resources available within either channel at NewEdge, rather than having to change firms, which reduces disruption for clients and simplifies the process for advisors.”

Alex Goss, Co-Founder and CEO of NewEdge Advisors, added, “We are incredibly pleased to support Jesse as his business needs change. NewEdge was created to support successful advisors and meet their needs throughout their careers. Rob and I are thrilled that we’re able to support Jesse’s remarkable growth.”

For over 15 years, Christensen has advised corporate executives on nuanced compensation and equity strategies. Hudson Wealth Partners offered a tailored, open-architecture experience — from concentration management to tax-efficient stock planning. As Christensen’s practice and client base continue to evolve, NewEdge Wealth’s focus on sophisticated wealth strategy and institutional investment solutions for UHNW individuals offers the specialized support he needs.

Christensen said, “In choosing the NewEdge family of firms, I knew I would have the flexibility to build my practice and leverage the advanced range of solutions designed to serve the unique needs of senior executives and ultra high net worth individuals. While my practice expanded rapidly with the support of NewEdge Advisors, allowing me to focus on this complex area of the market, it eventually became clear that my clients would benefit further from a closer alignment with NewEdge Wealth’s service offerings. It was a smooth transition from one side of the NewEdge family to the other.” 

NewEdge Wealth now has over 50 ultra high net worth advisors across 15 locations, including Atlanta, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco.
