History
Perella Weinberg Partners was launched in June 2006, with offices in New York and London.
To help establish the firm's operations and to seed investment initiatives, Perella Weinberg raised over US$1.1 billion from a group of investors.
In 2016, the firm acquired the Houston-based energy investment and merchant banking firm Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., to be operated as the energy practice of Perella Weinberg.
In December 2020, the firm announced it would go public by merging with FinTech Acquisition Corporation IV, a Nasdaq-listed SPAC sponsored by Cohen & Company. The transaction closed in June 2021 and Perella Weinberg began trading on Nasdaq on June 25, 2021 under the ticker PWP.
