Wealth Enhancement, a national independent wealth management firm, announced the acquisition of The H Group and its affiliated practice FocusPoint Solutions, businesses that collectively oversee more than $6.7 billion in client assets.
The firms are led by founder and owner Chris Hicks and are headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with additional offices across the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. FocusPoint Solutions will integrate into Advisory Solutions Group, a newly formed registered investment advisor affiliated with Wealth Enhancement designed to support advisors and RIAs that do not operate under Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services.
The transaction significantly expands Wealth Enhancement’s scale. Prior to the deal, the firm reported $135.9 billion in client assets as of January 31, 2026, including $5.3 billion in brokerage assets. The H Group and FocusPoint Solutions had approximately $6.7 billion in client assets as of December 31, 2025. Following the acquisition, Wealth Enhancement’s total client advisory, trust, and brokerage assets will exceed $142.6 billion.
Founded in 1990, The H Group and FocusPoint Solutions have built their businesses around personalized client service and comprehensive financial strategies. The teams provide advisory support to both financial advisors and clients, with a focus on fiduciary standards and long-term planning.
Wealth Enhancement said the partnership continues the firm’s strong merger-and-acquisition activity, following multiple transactions completed in 2025. The company indicated that integrating Hicks’ team will further expand its national presence and advisor support platform.
