Hurst Point financial planning division managing director John White said: “We are thrilled to be welcoming Metis into the Group. It has been most enjoyable working closely with founders Simon & George on the transaction over the last six months and we very much look forward to them and the whole team joining the business.

“It is clear that Metis is a first-class financial planning business for high-net-worth clients, and growing our capabilities in this area is an important strategic priority for our business.”

Hurst Point was set up by Carlyle in 2019 in a bid to expand its presence in the wealth management space.

The firm, which has been on a buying spree, has acquired Gore Browne Investment Management, D Heaton and Wealth Creation & Management since the start of June.
