Story
When CEO and Founder Elle Kaplan was in college, her father suddenly fell into a coma. Elle witnessed her mother’s struggle to manage her family’s investments on her own.
Elle moved to NYC with $200, no job, and a mission to reimagine Wall Street with a firm that operated at a fiduciary level. A decade later, after working at Wall Street’s premier firms, her desire to revolutionize finance led to the creation of LexION Capital, one of the only women-owned and women-run wealth management firms in the nation. She is now also the Chief Investment Officer of Elle Capital.
