Arkansas-based wealth management firms Legacy Capital Wealth Partners and Trent Capital Management have merged operations, resulting in the creation of one of the largest RIAs in the state.
The combined entity will trade as Legacy Capital and remain headquartered in Little Rock.
It has over $525m in assets under management and advisement along with in-force life insurance of over $2.5bn.
Established in 1977, Legacy Capital specialises in wealth management services, including financial planning, asset management, legacy and estate planning as well as insurance solutions.
The merger is said to provide Legacy Capital clients and advisers with access to one of the largest money manager platforms in the country in addition to various in-house managed portfolios and strategies.
Additionally, they will be provided with an in-house financial and estate planning team and access to institutional quality alternative investments including private equity, hedge funds, and private lending, among others.
