UK's Succession Wealth Reportedly Up For Sale

The firm, which has about £8.2 billion in assets under administration, was founded in 2009.

Succession Wealth, the UK firm, is putting itself up for sale for about £400 million ($542 million), Sky News reported yesterday.

The majority shareholder in Succession Wealth has chosen bankers to undertake a review of strategic options for the business, the report said. Inflexion, the private equity firm which took a controlling stake in the firm in 2014, is expected to launch a formal auction of Succession during the early part of next year, it said.

Succession has about £8.2 billion in assets under administration, and employs roughly 170 wealth planners. It was founded in 2009 by Simon Chamberlain, who died in 2017.

Inflexion and Succession declined to comment, the report said.
