Choreo, a Chicago-based registered investment adviser, said it has agreed to acquire Cherry Bekaert Wealth Management, which has roughly $1 billion in assets under management.
Cherry Bekaert Wealth Management is affiliated with Raleigh, North Carolina-based Cherry Bekaert Advisory, and Choreo also announced a strategic relationship with Cherry Bekaert Advisory that will allow the firms to “align go-to-market and acquisition opportunities” to foster the growth of both firms.
The acquisition of Cherry Bekaert Wealth Management brings Choreo’s assets under management and advisement to roughly $14.5 billion. The deal also expands the firm’s footprint in the Southeast.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close at year-end.
In February, Choreo’s management team, a group of its advisers and Parthenon Capital purchased the company from RSM US, a large CPA firm. Earlier this month, Choreo announced the acquisition of Enso Wealth, a California RIA with $1.8 billion in assets.
Blue Anchor Capital Management and Pickett also purchased “highly aggressive and volatile” securities, according to the order.
