Spouting Rock Asset Management has agreed to purchase New York-based investment management firm Stewart Asset Management for an undisclosed amount.
The transaction is scheduled to complete by the end of this month.
The current Stewart investment team, including chairman Bill Stewart, will move to Spouting Rock as part of the deal.
Bill Stewart said: “We’re pleased to join Spouting Rock as we look to expand our distribution among investors, institutions and financial advisers.
“We will retain the Stewart Asset Management brand name as we enter this new phase and the investment team will remain intact with Tom Valenzuela as chief investment officer, a role he also held at W.P. Stewart.”
Stewart intends to deliver long-term capital appreciation via a concentrated portfolio of US growth equities.
