DEERFIELD, ILLINOIS — Strategic Wealth Partners (“SWP”) today announced the addition of two seasoned advisors, Sidney Blum and Nancy Tani, who serve clients primarily in the Chicago North Shore and Las Vegas areas.  Sid and Nancy will continue to work with their clients as they transition to Strategic Wealth Partners.

 “I am truly excited about the team approach embedded in the SWP culture, as well as the team’s hands on service culture,” shared Sid Blum. “Joining SWP will significantly help expand our service offering and capabilities to our existing clients.”

 “We are privileged to be able to serve Sid’s and Nancy’s clients and look forward to continuing the strong tradition of fiduciary service they currently receive,” said David Copeland, Principal of Strategic Wealth Partners. “As we continue to implement our growth strategy, additions such as this are important for us.
