Montagu was established in 1996 and provides wealth management advice and administration for over 150 private and corporate clients with approximately £80 million of assets under advice. Montagu is based in Twickenham and employs an experienced team of four staff, all of whom will remain with Mattioli Woods following completion.
Like Mattioli Woods, the business specialises in the provision of fee-based financial planning advice. The complementary product offerings provide scope for potential revenue synergies, while maintaining the strong cultural commitment of both companies to putting clients first.
Commenting on the acquisition, Ian Mattioli, Chief Executive Officer of Mattioli Woods, said:
“Our discussions have confirmed the strong cultural fit and our common approach to looking after clients, and we are very pleased that Chris and his team are joining Mattioli Woods. The transaction expands our existing operations in London and the South East. We believe the range of products and services that Mattioli Woods has to offer can support the excellent outcomes from which Montagu’s clients already benefit, whilst offering the potential to realise real revenue synergies by combining our operations.”
Chris Simpkin, Montagu’s Managing Director, added:
“From our earliest discussions with Mattioli Woods it was clear that we shared the same core values and business culture of putting our clients’ interests at the heart of everything we do. We are delighted to become part of the Mattioli Woods Group; one of the UK’s top financial services companies. Our clients and staff will continue to benefit from our combined strong ethos and culture. Moving forward, the additional resources and support of being part of the Mattioli Woods Group will help us continue to provide our clients with the highest level of service that they have come to expect. We look forward to what the future will bring and sharing this with our clients”.
