Merger will Launch Summit Family Office Services to Meet Increased Demand from Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Summit Wealth Group (“Summit”), a growing independent registered investment advisory firm, announced today its merger with Premier Private Wealth (“PPW”), a Nashville-based wealth management firm with $470 million in assets under management (AUM). The combined firms will increase Summit’s AUM to approximately $3 billion and expand its footprint in Tennessee.

The merger will introduce Summit Wealth Group Family Office Services, a dedicated offering built to meaningfully enhance the firm’s capabilities for serving high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families. With this offering, Summit will provide comprehensive services – including investment oversight, estate and wealth transfer planning, advanced tax planning, family governance, multi-generational engagement and education, philanthropy and legacy planning, and overall family well-being support – to ultra-high-net-worth families. These services will be delivered through a combination of in-house talent and carefully selected external partners.

Michael Comstock, CFP®, CEO of Premier Private Wealth, will assume the newly created role of Head of Family Office Services at Summit Wealth Group. He will continue in his advisory role and lead the new Summit office located in Franklin, Tennessee, while also joining Summit’s executive leadership team.

Randy Morris, CEO of Summit Wealth Group, said, “Our clients have always been at the center of every decision we make. The merger with PPW strengthens our commitment to our clients by bringing on deeper knowledge, broader capabilities, and a shared vision for delivering an exceptional client experience. We’re excited to welcome Michael and his talented team to the Summit family, and for the opportunity this partnership creates for our clients, our team, and the future we’re building together.”

“Our decision to join Summit Wealth Group comes from shared values and a long-standing relationship built on trust,” said Michael Comstock, CFP®, incoming Head of Family Office Services. “Families of significant wealth need more than investment management—they need an integrated approach that supports the family’s financial, human, and social capital. By merging with Summit Wealth Group, we are building a multi-generational solution with deeper support and broader resources, while maintaining the personal, relationship-driven care that has always defined us.”

The merger comes on the heels of the appointment of three senior leadership hires at Summit Wealth Group. Scott Wilkinson joined the firm as Chief Compliance Officer, Chelsea Ganey, CFA® joined as Chief Investment Officer, and Seamus O’Brien, CFP® was named Head of Advisor Success. Summit Wealth Group entered a strategic minority investment with Constellation Wealth Capital in June 2025, positioning the firm to make targeted investments in talent, infrastructure, and capabilities to support growth.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
