By GlobalDataThe deal, which has been approved by both boards, is currently subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
The merger is in an all-stock transaction driving the consolidation in the wealth management industry amid rising regulatory costs and squeezed margins.
Ciucci said: "The Group will create a new category of advisory firm, one to which families can turn to access an extraordinary depth of talent, experience and insight across a multiplicity of disciplines. This transaction establishes a truly differentiated platform and one which we believe will redefine UHNW family wealth management."
Adam Fleming said: "The Board of Fleming Family & Partners has recommended acceptance of the proposed terms by our
shareholders, and the Fleming Family Trust Company is committed to support the combined business both as shareholder and client."
