With £1.9bn of assets throughout 19 platforms, ebi is involved in handling of evidence focused, factor tilted, and ESG portfolios.

The deal forms a part of Parmenion’s growth approach, which saw the inclusion several wealth managers into the company’s portfolio last year. 

Morrow said: “We have long admired ebi’s approach to investment solutions, harnessing leading-edge technology that aims to support advisers in achieving excellent outcomes for clients.

“ebi is a strong and profitable business, with AUM growing at 37% a year for the last five years.”

Last year, Parmenion’s revenue rose 20% after a good sales growth. The firm’s AUM grew 17% to £9.6bn and posted significant profit amid a challenging economic scenario.
