Welcy Capital Advisors

What Welcy Capital Advisors does

Welcy Capital Advisors is an SEC-registered investment advisor (RIA) headquartered in Miami, Florida, operating as a boutique wealth advisory firm focused on serving independent financial advisors and the high-net-worth clients they advise, with particular emphasis on cross-border needs between the United States and Latin America. The firm was founded in 2021 as a joint venture between executives of Panama-based Grupo Prival and Miami-based LW Partners Group, and transitioned in 2025 to a wholly owned subsidiary of Grupo Prival under the rebranded "Welcy" identity. Its core offerings include discretionary and non-discretionary separately managed accounts, financial planning, U.S. and international wealth advisory, international estate advisory, and fund management, supplemented by the proprietary Prival Credit Opportunities Fund, a private credit vehicle focused on Latin America.

The firm's platform is built on an open-architecture model: it does not operate proprietary trading or reporting technology, instead integrating Addepar for real-time portfolio reporting and Interactive Brokers for execution, with U.S. custody and additional product access via StoneX, XP Investments, and Amerant Investments. Client accounts require a $250,000 minimum, and the firm earns AUM-based investment management fees typically ranging from 0.5% to 2% annually, billed quarterly in advance or arrears. Its go-to-market is sales-led and advisor-channel focused: rather than direct-to-consumer marketing, Welcy positions itself as a strategic partner to independent RIAs, providing the institutional infrastructure, compliance framework, and global product access that those advisors need to serve their own HNW and family-office clients, with explicit strength in Latin American markets inherited from its Prival and LW Partners heritage.
