The acquisitions will take Mercer’s total client assets to around $11.6bn.
Mercer Advisors CEO Dave Welling said: “We are committed to being a driving force in the Texas market as well as throughout the Southwest. Murray & Co. is a great fit for Mercer both philosophically and culturally and we look forward to working with the Murray team to broaden our service to our existing and future clients.”
Commenting on the Pinnacle takeover, Welling said: “Pinnacle shares our commitment to financial planning and helping our clients on their path to economic freedom. As CFPs and fee-only financial planners we see the world similarly. We share a belief that financial planning is essential in today’s complex financial world and that operating as a true fiduciary that puts clients first is the best way to run an advisory firm.”
