ARGI, based in Louisville, Kentucky, was founded in 1995 and has 250 professionals.

Cerity said in a statement that the deal will enhance its “national footprint and workplace financial planning offering,” and noted that many of ARGI’s client relationships were “developed through corporate relationships with Fortune 500 companies.”
