Southeastern Trust will now seek authorisation to operate as a Tennessee chartered trust company. It will retain its brand and its headquarters in Chattanooga following the acquisition.
The deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, is subject to regulatory approval.
“We believe that the timing and opportunity for a full service, locally owned and Chattanooga-headquartered trust company that can deliver trustee, investment management and family office advisory services is now,” Kramer said.
“Our team created the vision of providing a private family office service environment for our clients in 2012. Our growth, and the confidence that the market has shown in us, over the last six years has validated our belief in that vision,” Rolen added.
