Captrust Financial Advisors of Raleigh, North Carolina, says it is acquiring the assets of South Texas Money Management — formerly led by the late Jeanie Wyatt — which will become part of the firm's wealth management operations. Along with the team of 60 Texas-based employees and six offices, the deal should add about $3.7 billion assets to the roughly $9.6 billion in wealth assets now managed by Captrust's wealth team.
"When Jeanie, her son Trey, and I, along with the STMM management team mapped out the succession plan that eventually led us to Captrust, we explicitly did so based on two guiding principles: what is best for our clients, and what is best for our employees," according to Jeanie's stepson Richey Wyatt. "Under Jeanie's leadership, we unanimously agreed in a thorough process that Captrust was our ideal strategic partner."
Wyatt, who founded STMM in 2000 with about $10 million is assets, died from a rare form of cancer in April at age 65.
