Registered investment advisor (RIA) mergers and acquisitions reached record levels in the first half of 2026, with DeVoe & Company tracking 167 deals, up 13% year over year. Despite strong activity, major buyers increasingly believe RIA valuations have peaked, with no consolidators expecting further increases and some predicting declines. Private equity-backed consolidators accounted for half of transactions, led by Hightower Signature Wealth, Savant Wealth Management and Beacon Pointe Advisors. Buyers remain selective, favoring firms with strong growth, client relationships and teams.
