About Us

Greenwood Capital Associates, LLC is a limited liability company organized under the state laws of South Carolina. Greenwood Capital was formed and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2001. At that time, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Greenwood Capital Associates, Inc., an independent registered investment adviser founded in 1983. Greenwood Capital is principally owned by TCB Corporation (“TCB”), which acquired its ownership interest on July 31, 2008. While TCB is the majority owner of Greenwood Capital, it is not its operator; and as an owner with a long-term horizon, TCB is committed to ensuring we continue as an independent adviser. There are six active employee owners in the Firm.

We manage more than $1.5 billion in assets. Our Wealth team of Private Client Advisors provides  investment advisory services for individuals, families, foundations, endowments and trusts. Our team of Investment Managers develops and provides investment management for institutional clients, including municipalities, healthcare providers, charitable foundations, and higher education institutions, as well as our Wealth clients. In addition to direct retirement advice and investment management, we also provide group qualified retirement planning consulting services and optional group retirement plan investment management through a third-party administrator.
