One Four Nine Wealth’s late 2023 launch was a significant turning point in the company’s development since it offered a strong foundation for starting to unify all regional sites under a single brand identification and guaranteeing the provision of a uniform client service offering throughout the United Kingdom.
The company’s financial planning division, One Four Nine Wealth, works in tandem with One Four Nine Portfolio Management to create one of the UK’s ideal wealth planning organisations, complete with an in-house Discretionary Investment Manager (“DIM”).
Castlegate Capital will rebrand as One Four Nine Wealth upon conclusion of the purchase, bringing the Group’s client assets to more than £1.6bn ($2.057bn), with over 30 financial advisers and around 5,000 clients.
Gabrielle Beaumont, chief executive officer, One Four Nine Group stated: “This is an exciting time of growth for One Four Nine Group. Investing heavily in the last 12 months in people, integration and client proposition across our regional locations has put us in a strong position to continue to attract some of the best firms in the market as part of our continued acquisition strategy.
