In a significant move within the financial services sector, a Chicago-based private equity firm is preparing to acquire Wealthspire as part of Aon's strategic decision to divest a substantial portion of its National Financial Partners (NFP) wealth management business. This acquisition is projected to be valued at approximately $2.7 billion and is anticipated to finalize in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The decision to sell Wealthspire is part of Aon's broader strategy to streamline its operations and focus on core business areas.
