Mercer Global Advisors has acquired Florida-headquartered wealth management firm Cordasco Financial Network (CFN) for an undisclosed sum.
Founded by CEO Steve Cordasco in 2011, CFN offers financial planning and portfolio management to high-net-worth individuals, families, and corporate clientele.

The firm adds assets under management (AuM) of around $510m and more than 400 clients to Mercer Advisors.
As part of the transaction, CFN’s team, consisting of retirement specialists, CPAs, insurance consultants, will join Mercer Advisors.
Cordasco said: “Our business model is successful, we are growing fast, but we lack the scale and leverage necessary to accommodate our growth with back-office responsibilities gobbling up valuable time and resources.
“Of course, being able to offload back-office responsibilities to Mercer Advisors will add significant excess capacity to me and my team freeing us up to service more clients, and win new ones.”
