FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

June 28, 2022—Southfield, MI—CIG Capital Advisors (CIG), a leading independent wealth management and business advisory services firm, has obtained an independent performance certification by ACA Group’s Performance Services Division for its flagship strategies for the period from August 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021.

It was a long, involved process and our work had to be meticulous. Our clients benefit from this investment of our time and effort, and it is ultimately for this reason that we undertook this process.”

Going forward, performance certifications will be conducted on an annual basis, giving clients important insights into the integrity, scope and uniformity of performance, enabling direct comparability of the firm’s track record to better inform their decision-making.
