Westlake Technology Holdings reaches $10 Billion in assets under management milestone ahead of targeted 2022 goal. Westlake has set a new goal of $20 Billion in assets by 2026.
“In 2012 we set the ambitious goal of reaching $10 billion by 2022 and we were able to accomplish this milestone earlier than expected,” stated Ian Anderson, Westlake Technology Holdings Group President. “Our next step is to reach $20 billion in assets by 2026 using the same aggressive market growth our company has implemented.”

Westlake Financial’s indirect lending portfolio represents approximately 70% of the portfolio with assets worth over $7.01 billion from more than 660,000 accounts. Westlake’s other subsidiaries make up the remaining 30%:
