Wealthspring Capital Adds Robert Fleischman to Advisory Board
Fleischman’s financial and technology expertise will support Wealthspring Capital’s mission of delivering superior investment strategies for clients
NEW YORK — June 8, 2021 — Wealthspring Capital (“Wealthspring”) has added Robert Fleischman to its Advisory Board. Wealthspring is an investment advisory firm that offers investment strategies to advisors, sophisticated high net-worth investors and family offices interested in gaining exposure to the special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) space.
Working alongside Wealthspring co-founders and managing partners Matthew Simpson and David Gallers, Fleischman will support the firm’s strategic vision, drive innovation within the firm’s investment strategies and advise its ongoing business success and profitability.
Fleischman is the chair of the Boston chapter of Tiger 21, the premier membership network for high-net-worth individuals. In his role there, he supports ultra-high-net worth individuals, families and financial advisors in navigating family wealth, investments and philanthropic initiatives. He has supported multiple successful start-ups and his professional experience includes work with technology and financial companies.
Wealthspring has been in a period of sustained and strategic growth since its founding in 2018 as investors embrace its approach to SPAC investing. The firm offers two SPAC-focused investment options for clients, a separately managed account (“SMA”) cash management strategy, US Treasuries + Alpha® with SPACs, and a newly-launched hedge fund, the Fountain Opportunities Fund. The SMA strategy offers investors access to SPACs while providing the recognized safety and security of US Treasuries, and its investors saw over 20% net returns* in 2020. The hedge fund is designed for sophisticated investors who are interested in accessing the entire SPAC lifecycle and capitalizing on the product’s inherent upside potential. Wealthspring serves clients in the U.S. and abroad and has amassed over $650 million in assets under management as of the end of Q1 2021.
“Rob’s professional experience, his keen eye for start-ups and his insight on the financial and technology industries will be of significant value to our team,” said Gallers. “His insights drive success in businesses across industries and verticals and we are thrilled to have him on our advisory team.”
Fleischman will serve alongside Howard Roth on the Wealthspring Advisory Board, providing counsel to the management team and supporting the firm’s ongoing growth.
