Following the conclusion of the tech bubble, TWP diversified into other growth areas such as healthcare and consumer products and continued to operate successfully until it was acquired by Stifel Financial in 2010. The firm now offers a broad range of services, including asset management and M&A advisory, in a large number of sectors including technology, media, healthcare, consumer products, energy, mining and real estate. Various divisions of TWP operate out of offices in major cities around the world.
