Waverton adds £500m to AUM with Scottish adviser buy
Cornerstone Asset Management has offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow and about 1,000 clients
Waverton Investment Management has acquired wealth planner Cornerstone Asset Management for an undisclosed sum.
Established in July 2010, and with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Cornerstone offers wealth management and financial planning advice.
With around 1,000 clients, Cornerstone advises on £500m of assets under management and has a team of 22.
Waverton said the acquisition allows it to expand its regional footprint and offer an “augmented service proposition, integrating wealth planning and discretionary investment management for clients”.
Waverton Investment Management chief executive Nick Tucker (pictured) said: “We have known Cornerstone for some time, having managed their active multi-asset portfolio range since 2012. They have built a highly-regarded growth business over the last decade and the broadened proposition is a demonstration of our shared belief that ‘if it works for clients, it works for us’.
