US-based Citizens Financial Group has reached a definitive agreement to purchase select assets and liabilities of Paladin Advisors for an undisclosed sum.
The deal is expected to extend Citizens’ reach as well as bolster its wealth management business.
Subject to customary closing terms and conditions, the deal is scheduled to be completed by third quarter of this year.
Following the completion of the deal, Paladin Advisors will join Clarfeld | Citizens Private Wealth.
Paladin Advisors CEO Karen Parker Feld said: “Guided by a philosophy of accountability, transparency and consultation, Paladin prioritises careful investment management and comprehensive financial advice for discerning clients who are looking for personalized wealth management services.
“We will expand upon that mission with Citizens, bringing additional services to clients, a difficult-to-replicate value proposition for any independent advisor.”
