Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Corient is active with multiple New York-focused moves, including adding Summit Trail Advisors (UHNWI-only RIA; ultra-high-net-worth focus) and acquiring Seven Bridges Advisors (multi-family office; comprehensive wealth management and private markets investing).
- Cerity Partners is pursuing capability expansion via its merger with Verus Investments, expanding Cerity’s institutional research and advisory capabilities.
- Abacus Life continues to grow its wealth management offering suite, including its planned acquisition of index provider and asset manager FCF Advisors.
- Deal structures range from acquisitions and mergers to strategic minority, non-control investment (e.g., Offit Capital receiving capital from TRIA Capital Partners to fund growth while preserving independence).
