Sanlam Private Wealth (SPW) has acquired the client bank of Twickenham-based IFA Camilleri & Associates.
The purchase is part of SPW's strategy of acquiring the firms of advisers looking to exit the industry ahead of the retail distribution review (RDR). The principal of Camilleri & Associates, Henry Camilleri, is set to retire. Camilleri & Associates brings £52m of funds under influence (FUI), bringing SPW's total FUI to over £550m.
