Multi-disciplinary professional services firm Progeny has bolstered its footprint in Scotland to acquire with the acquisition of Edinburgh-based financial planning firm Balmoral Asset Management.
The deal, whose financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, marks Progeny’s fourth acquisition this year and follows its recent takeover of The Fry Group.
The acquired entity provides a comprehensive wealth management service to a number of private clients.
Progeny forayed into the Scotland market with the acquisition of Innovate Financial Services in Edinburgh in February 2019. Last year, the firm acquired Ayrshire-based Affinity Financial Planning to further expand its presence in the country.
The latest transaction will take the British wealth manager’s total assets under management (AuM) to over £6.5bn.
Progeny chief executive Neil Moles said: “We have been steadily expanding our presence in Scotland in the last few years and our acquisition of Balmoral Asset Management will allow us to take a significant step forward in this aim.
