Wealthspire Advisors has brokered a deal to acquire Nevada-based wealth management firm Sage Financial Advisors.  

The acquired firm, which was founded in 1996 by Brian Loy, manages approximately $194m in assets.

The company offers its clients custom-designed financial solutions by partnering with other financial professionals.

Commenting on the deal, Wealthspire CEO Mike LaMena said: “We are delighted to welcome Brian Loy and the Sage team to Wealthspire.

“They’ve built a strong planning-first business that prioritizes the client experience and aligns with our fiduciary model. With this addition, we expand our growing presence in the West, and further reinforce our firm as a truly national RIA.”

Wealthspire boosted its presence in the West Coast by acquiring Private Ocean in 2021. It also opened three offices in California and Washington as part of its expansion stratgey.
