Founded by Andrew Farah, the firm manages $240m in assets on behalf of its approximately 220 clients.
Under the agreement, AFI team will join Mercer which expands its central US reach with this deal.
Commenting on the transaction, Farah said: “Partnering with Mercer Advisors had appeal for me because they take over the onerous back-office and human resources responsibilities, and offer in-house family office services like estate planning, tax, etc., that my clients can utilise. For me it was a win, and for my clients it was a win, a true ‘win-win’.”
Mercer Advisors CEO Dave Welling added: “Andy has assembled a strong team and is highly respected in the industry. His involvement and contributions to his community and local philanthropic organisations demonstrates his strong character.
