The combined entity now has a network of more than 30 offices across the UK.
Tilney Bestinvest CEO Peter Hall said: “This brings together two individually successful businesses to create a truly market leading wealth management group that provides both highly skilled financial planning and award-winning investment management services right across the UK.
“While existing clients will see continuity in their advisers and the personalised service they receive, the greater scale the combination brings will enable us to support clients from a broader office network and offer a wider range of services to suit different needs.
“The greater scale will also enable us to invest further in areas such as technology, client support and research to ensure that we continue to deliver a first class service and excellent investment performance,” Hall added.
