The AIM-traded firm said the transaction added about £1.6bn in assets under advice and around 1,350 clients to the group.

The expanded business now included around 90 advisers and paraplanners, strengthening its position in the financial planning and wealth management sector.

“I'm delighted that we have completed the acquisition of LIFT and that Michael Holden, one of the two founders, has taken the newly created role of chief executive of financial planning,” said chief executive officer Andrea Montague.

“Mike's strong client and high performance focus will further drive our strategy to reignite growth.”
