Astute will become a subsidiary of Tenet&You but will continue to trade under its own brand, Tenet said.
As per the terms of the agreement, Astute’s directors, Chris Hawkins and Marshall Bickler, will remain as advisers and help the ongoing development of the business.
Hawkins commented: “Tenet have been our network partner for over 20 years, so it was a logical decision and fit for both our clients and business.
“The buyout will enable us to focus entirely on helping our clients achieve their lifetime aspirations. We now have the security, resources and backing of Tenet to enable us to continue to grow whilst providing a good long-term advice proposition for our clients.”
