The investment comes as the firm seeks to expand across the country both organically and through acquisitions.

Commenting on the development, Lido CEO Jason Ozur said: “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Charlesbank at this pivotal time for Lido and, more importantly, for our clients.”

Charlesbank managing director and CEO Michael Choe said: “Lido has proven to be an unparalleled home for clients and financial advisors alike, and we are excited to leverage our experience and network to accelerate its organic growth and M&A strategy.”

In January this year, RIA aggregator Hightower made an investment in New York-based Siller & Cohen Family Wealth Advisors, a wealth management firm with $830m in assets under management.
