Equirus has successfully integrated Credence Family Office to oversee the Family Office business of Equirus Wealth. The unified family office operation will now operate under the name Equirus-Credence Family Office. This transaction, valued at Rs 100 crore, also marked the exit of TIW Private Equity, which had been an investor in Credence Family Office for six years, as stated by Equirus.

Leadership Expansion at Equirus

Mitesh Shah, the Founder and CEO of Credence Family Office, is set to join Equirus’ leadership team, which will enhance the firm’s expertise in catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family office sectors. Ajay Garg, the Founder and Managing Director of Equirus Group, expressed that the firm has consistently focused on a client-first philosophy, emphasising building relationships grounded in trust and providing enduring value. He noted that Credence Family Office shares this same ideology, making their collaboration an exciting opportunity to elevate this approach, ensuring clients are supported and empowered throughout their journeys.

Enhanced Capabilities Through Collaboration

This merger also allows Credence Family Office to tap into Equirus’ extensive platform capabilities which include investment banking, debt capital markets, research, and fund management. Consequently, Equirus Group’s total wealth assets will increase to Rs 18,000 crore.

Throughout the years, Mitesh Shah has expressed gratitude for the trust placed in Credence Family Office by numerous families who have confided in them with their aspirations. He mentioned that joining Equirus Wealth would enable them to enhance their commitment even further.
