Advisor Impact Inc., headed by advisor/client research specialist Julie Littlechild, has been bought by Accretive 360 Inc., owner of Accretive Advisor. Accretive Advisor is launching across Canada in January and will launch in the United States later in the year.
Littlechild will remain as Advisor Impact's CEO, which will continue to operate under its own name as a subsidiary of Accretive 360 Inc. She will also become managing director of research of Accretive Advisor.
"For us, working with Accretive Advisor gives us more tools and resources to accomplish our goals, which is to gain as much insight into the advisor/client relationship as possible," Littlechild says. "Accretive Advisor has an interest in distinguishing the best advisors in the country. They know that the client will often be the one to do that, so we are able to provide them with the research they wanted. As we got talking, the partnership just made sense."
