NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Financial Network, a Manhattan-based financial services firm, today expanded its footprint by merging with Aegis Wealth Partners, a Connecticut-based financial services firm. The new alliance creates a strong regional presence with five offices serving the Tri-state area. *The merged company, operating under the existing names, now serves more than 25,000 clients with over $10 billion in life insurance benefits in force, and over $1 billion in client policy and account values administered.
“This alliance enables National Financial Network and Aegis Wealth Partners to become the advisor firm of choice in the Tri-state area,” said Anthony T. Mazzei, Sr., president and CEO at National Financial Network. “There is flux and uncertainty in the industry, but we are growing from a position of strength by building a leading regional firm that supports mission-driven advisors. Our partnership opens the door to incredible career opportunities. We welcome career financial professionals to explore our unique approach to financial planning and education, and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the communities we serve.”
“This merger is a tremendous opportunity for both Aegis and National Financial Network,” said Brett Amendola, President of Aegis. “Our close proximity and the opportunity to leverage national leaders in financial services drew our two firms together. Expanding our presence from the Rhode Island and Connecticut area to New York City, New Jersey and Long Island, allows us to engage with people we would have never met and help them achieve their financial goals.”
The merger of National Financial Network (offices in Downtown Manhattan, Midtown, and Garden City) and Aegis Wealth Partners (offices in Madison and Milford, Connecticut) enables the joint firm to increase its pool of talent and expertise to better serve clients, according to both executives.
Mazzei continued: “This union brings together two firms with shared values, and allows us to leverage the judgment and skill of over 75 highly experienced advisors to better serve our clients and the community. Together, we can offer our clients knowledge in virtually every aspect of life and disability insurance, estate and retirement planning, and wealth management.”
Amendola added, “Our clients and the future leaders of our firm will benefit from the additional resources, leadership, and support provided by National Financial Network. They have helped individuals, families, and businesses for over 60 years. We share the same mission. To help clients and advisors develop, implement, and monitor financial strategies designed specifically to achieve financial success.”
