Corient has entered into an agreement to acquire H.M. Payson and Co., an $8 billion firm that is among the largest and longest-standing RIAs in Maine.

HMP also serves as a Maine chartered trust company, managing about $1.2 billion in trust assets, according to the announcement.

The pending acquisition, which is expected to close early next year, will represent Corient’s first Maine location, expanding its ability to serve clients throughout northern New England. The financial terms weren’t disclosed.

Since its founding in 1854, HMP has served high-net-worth individuals and families across Maine and the Northeast United States. The firm offers comprehensive wealth management services that cover investment management, financial planning, estate planning and trust services.

Daniel Lay, president and managing director at HMP, said in a statement that his firm shares the same culture and values as Corient.

“By joining Corient, we can immediately offer more to our clients while staying true to the principles that have guided us for generations,” he added. “We were also impressed by Corient’s private partnership, which fosters collaboration and ensures that resources and expertise from across the firm will be available to serve our clients.”

Kurt MacAlpine, partner and CEO at Corient, cited HMP’s “team-based approach” and “deep commitment to client success” as key drivers of the acquisition.

“We look forward to building on their impressive foundation to deliver even greater value to clients across Maine and the Northeast,” MacAlpine said.

With the acquisition, Corient will have over 250 partners and 1,000 employees managing about $184 billion in client assets.
