Envestnet manages $6T in assets, 20M accounts and enables nearly 110K financial advisors to meet the financial goals of clients.
Phil Loughlin, partner at Bain Capital said Envestnet has “built an industry-leading platform that the largest wealth management firms, RIAs and broker-dealers rely on to power their businesses.”
Reverence Capital is participating in the Bain Capital transaction. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton, and State Street Global Advisors have committed to invest in the proposed transaction, and will hold minority stakes.
Bain Capital’s acquisition, which is expected to be completed during Q4, will make publicly-traded Envestnet a private company.
