By GlobalDataCommenting on the deal, Hawksmoor CEO Sarah Soar said: “This is an exciting opportunity for Hawksmoor as we continue to grow and develop the business.
“Partnering with Hurst Point Group and an investor such as Carlyle gives us valuable support to achieve our strategic objectives and helps to ensure that we can continue to deliver an exceptionally high-quality service to all of our clients.”
Hurst Point Group executive chairman Ian Gladman added: “We are delighted that the Hawksmoor shareholders have accepted our offer and also, in many cases, re-invested in the expanded Hurst Point Group.
“We have long held the Hawksmoor business in high regard and believe we can support the business to fulfil its true potential in the years to come.”
Carlyle set up Hurst Point Group in 2019 to support investment into the UK wealth management space.
The firm made its first investment in March last year with the purchase of Harwood Wealth Management.
In 2016, Hawksmoor Investment Management separated its fund and private client management businesses to promote its fund management capability.
