About Camden National Wealth Management.
Camden National Wealth Management provides comprehensive
wealth management, investment management and trust
services to individual and institutional clients. From its
offices in Portland, Bangor, and Ellsworth, Camden
National Wealth Management serves clients throughout Maine
and New England.
Our strategic objective is to strengthen our company through
profitable growth that aligns with our commitment to banking
and other financial services delivered through our
community-based model. This is our key differentiator – we
offer the same advanced products and services as our largest
competitors, while staying true to our roots as a local
genuine Maine bank.
Our History. We have the ability to adopt new
technologies as well as products and services, and leverage
those resources to meet customer, regulatory and operational
demands. We have undergone significant growth since our
inception through strong organic growth and successful
acquisitions, along with several key strategic investments.
Today, our presence extends from Central, Downeast and the
company's home territory of Midcoast Maine through Southern
Maine and select markets in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Some of our recent key milestones include:
-
- On December 1, 2016 Camden National Bank combined its
subsidiary Acadia Trust N.A. with Camden National Bank and
launched a new brand "Camden National Wealth Management".
The combination has leveraged the technology, capital and
resources of both companies to better serve our valuable
clients. Additionally, our very capable and highly
talented team of experts can now offer clients access to a
comprehensive range of deposit and loan products, which
has significantly enhanced our wealth management clients'
experience
-
- On October 16, 2015, we acquired SBM Financial, the
parent company of The Bank of Maine. The acquisition
advanced our strategic goal to increase market share by
expanding our presence in Central Maine and entering new
markets in the more economically vibrant southern tier of
the state. This resulted in the addition of 24 branches
and approximately $687 million in deposits, and made
Camden National the third largest bank in deposit market
share in the State of Maine.
-
- On October 29, 2012, we acquired 14 branches from Bank
of America. This resulted in approximately $300 million in
deposits and made Camden National the fourth largest bank
in deposit market share in the State of Maine.

Gouws Capital Management, Inc. as our principal wealth and
investment management subsidiaries. It subsequently
purchased the outstanding minority interest of Trust
Company of Maine (TCOM) on October 24, 2001. Gouws Capital
Management and TCOM were subsequently merged into Acadia
Trust, N.A., and the resulting organization now provides a
broad array of wealth, investment management, and
retirement services.
