Waverly Advisors, LLC – a registered investment advisor (RIA) that specializes in investment management, financial planning and wealth management solutions for a diverse group of high-net-worth individuals, corporate retirement plans and institutional clients – recently announced that it has acquired Rainsberger Wealth Advisors based in Colorado Springs, CO. And with ongoing expansion efforts underway, Waverly has recently added offices in Texas and Mississippi, and now Colorado, in addition to their long-time presence in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
Rainsberger Wealth Advisors was launched in 1990 by Bud Rainsberger to help clients build strong financial futures while providing them with peace of mind. Bud will assume the role of Waverly Regional Director for the Denver and Colorado Springs regions and will be joined at Waverly by his entire team.
This deal marks the ninth since Waverly accepted an equity investment in December 2021 from Wealth Partners Capital Group (WPCG) and HGGC’s Aspire Holdings platform to support Waverly’s ongoing M&A-focused growth. And Waverly now has offices in six states across the U.S., and anticipates continued growth given its strong M&A pipeline.
The deal of Rainsberger, which closed on October 20, 2023, increases Waverly’s assets under management (AUM) by $302 million, bringing Waverly’s total AUM to approximately $7.4 billion. The financial and legal terms of the deal will not be disclosed.
