Dakota and Persimmon teams will remain in place to serve their current clientele.
Horn said: “Our team sought a strategic partnership that would expand our services and enable our professionals to spend more time growing our client base, and – with Dakota’s dedicated, centralised team of operations specialists – this new relationship puts us in the perfect position to do just that.”
Dakota Wealth Management chief strategic officer Bryan Keller said: “Given the M&A frenzy in the space, Persimmon was a jewel for us to find – and we’re thrilled that Greg and his team value the culture fit and growth opportunity of joining Dakota Wealth.”
