Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers

As many of you may already know, George Weiss – our incredible founder and leader – has decided after 46 years to close the firm. George started his career on Wall Street in 1965 and with only a slide rule and calculator, he launched George Weiss & Associates in 1978, pledging the highest standards of integrity and fairness for employees and clients. Since then, the firm has flourished, attracting exceptional clients and talent alike, and cultivating an environment rooted in genuine partnership and trust. Winding down a firm with a 46-year history is a decision not taken lightly but one made with the utmost consideration for the welfare of our clients and employees. We want to extend a heartfelt thanks and sense of gratitude to all the clients, employees, partners, and friends we made along this journey. Forging meaningful relationships has been at the core of our mission and while we’re sad this journey is coming to an end, we’re excited about what will come. Wishing everyone all the best, George Weiss and Jordi Visser
