We are delighted to announce that we have completed our latest acquisition with the purchase of Blackstone Wealth Management Ltd, strengthening our position as the largest firm of Financial Life Planners in the UK.
Blackstone Wealth Management is based in Walsall in the Midlands and was founded by Craig and Guzz Burgess who are also the founders and innovators behind EBI Portfolios (Evidence Based Investment Portfolios) which many of you will be aware of as they provide the input and design for our Serenity investment portfolios.
Founder of Serenity, Tina Weeks said today: “We’re thrilled that we have been able to acquire such a highly regarded and forward-thinking business. Their values, ethics and processes are closely aligned to ours and this makes it easy for us to continue to deliver the great service that their clients have been used to”.
Tina Weeks added: “My vision is to bring Financial Life Planning to as many people as possible so they can live a life of freedom without worrying about money. We can’t do this one client at a time so a considered acquisition plan is part of our growth aspirations”
Craig Burgess, Founder of Blackstone Wealth Management said today: “Our investment company EBI Portfolios has grown from strength to strength and we feel that we want to focus on growing and nurturing it further. Tina and Serenity were one of the first users of our investment proposition, so we have had an ongoing relationship for many years”
Craig added: “We are delighted to pass Blackstone Wealth Management to Tina and her team. We know Serenity has a strong emphasis on client relationships and we wanted to pass our clients on to a firm that we trusted and knew would really look after our clients, and not just want to acquire the AUM. We cannot think of better hands than Tina and her team to leave our clients in”
