Brent Mekosh Named 2026 InvestmentNews Advisor of the Year Finalist

We’re thrilled to share that Lead Advisor and Partner Brent Mekosh was recently named an InvestmentNews Excellence Awardee in the Advisor of the Year in the Alternative Investments category, which recognizes the advisor who has displayed excellence in alternative investment solutions such as real estate, commodities, and hedge funds.  ​

It is an honor to be recognized as a finalist alongside other accomplished professionals in this category, and what means even more is what this represents for our firm: our commitment to continue delivering modern planning and investment opportunities to the families we serve — and how far we’ve come in just two years. Since joining the Concurrent ecosystem, we’ve expanded our ability to access institutional-quality alternative investments and private market opportunities that have helped us create more diversified portfolios and better align strategies with each of our clients’ unique goals.

The award selection process, conducted by an unbiased panel of judges, considered advisors’ knowledge and understanding of alternative investment opportunities and how they incorporated them into client strategies, among other criteria.

Although Brent wasn’t named the overall winner, we’re proud that this recognition reflects the work of our entire team and the unique talents, expertise, and contributions they share each day, from investment research and selections to client care. We’re also reminded that milestones like this are rarely earned alone. We’re grateful for the trust of our clients, the support of our partners, and the dedication of our team along this journey.​
