Continuing acquisition spree
MAI has been looking to expand its national presence through mergers and acquisitions activities in the past few years.
The latest deal marks the firm’s 14th acquisition since landing a minority investment from Wealth Partners Capital Group in July 2017.
In August this year, it secured a strategic investment from financial services distribution firm Galway to expedite its organic growth trajectory and boost its client service offerings.
This year, MAI agreed to purchase HW Financial Advisors and the wealth management division of Ownership Advisors.
It also took over Naples, Florida-based MWM Investment Consulting and Baltimore-based Geier Asset Management.
