After the completion of the acquisition, Bill Groom and Annabelle Duncan will leave the firm and AFH advisors will serve their clients.
Commenting on the acquisition, AFH CEO Alan Hudson said: “Our eighth acquisition of the financial year is the client portfolio of an established IFA business in Studley.
“I wish Bill and Annabelle well in their retirement. The business provides a complimentary fit to AFH’s core business and I am confident that Groom’s existing clients will benefit from the advantages of the AFH proposition”.
