US-based insurtech company Integrity Marketing Group, which also provides wealth management and retirement planning solution, has signed an agreement to acquire Gladstone Wealth Partners.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 2012, Gladstone is a registered independent advisor (RIA) with over $13bn in assets under management.
The firm provides a hybrid wealth-management platform offering an open architecture, multi-custodial RIA platform and access to a full-service broker-dealer offering.
Furthermore, Gladstone focuses on mitigating advisor risk and simplifying the transition to independence by centralising business functions, such as compliance, marketing and operations.
Integrity co-founder and CEO Bryan Adams said: “The addition of Gladstone Wealth Partners to the Integrity family means that we can serve the life, health and wealth needs of Americans better than ever before as we help them plan for the good days ahead.
