By GlobalDataAs part of the deal, TMG will absorb the PartnersInWealth team.
PartnersInWealth, offering financial planning and portfolio management since 1984, is TMG’s fourth acquisition this year.
The acquisition is TMG’s seventh deal in the last 18 months.
PartnersInWealth founder James Waters said: “TMG’s cutting-edge technology platform and boutique culture really attracted us to their firm.
“TMG has made the strategic decision to only partner with the brightest fee-only financial planners to build a well-respected national boutique.
“They have no interest in becoming a private equity-backed megafirm. This will allow my next-generation staff to have a long-term seat at the table.”
