Commenting on the acquisition, Duet Group said: “The decision to acquire Merit Capital followed the reorganisation of Duet Group in to 3 business units. Duet has a controlling stake in several alternative asset management firms with a focus on private equity, hedge/long-only fund and wealth management. The acquisition of Merit Capital is a natural expansion into European-based wealth management for the Group.”
The deal will boost Duet Group’s client base by nearly 2,000. It is also expected to diversify the business of the firm, which operates in London, New York, New Delhi and Accra.
Duet co-founder Henry Gabay said: “Merit’s commitment to excellence and Duet’s expertise in investment, combined with a robust process, make this a perfect partnership which will create a premiere European wealth management platform.”
