Written by admin | Feb 23, 2026

Julius Buchanan, Editor in Chief, Wealth Solutions Report posted his commentary on the deals and recruiting in the wealth industry on Wealth Solutions Report as part of its Deals & Recruiting Roundup.

The M&A numbers keep rising. This week, Cerity announced a merger with Verus, which serves clients with $1.2 trillion in assets. Asset numbers for the Bluespring, Neuberger and CAPTRUST acquisitions are in the multiple billions. And ECHELON predicts another banner year for M&A in 2026. At this point, one must wonder what it would take to even slow down the M&A train.
