MAI’s executive team, which is led by Rick Buoncore, will remain, with MAI adding “financial and wealth management services that complement existing business relationships within Galway’s EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants unit and other areas of specialization across the company,” Galway said in a release.
Wealth Partners Capital Group took a stake in MAI in 2017, and since then MAI has done 12 acquisitions, according to the press release. Wealth Partners Capital Group will maintain its stake in the firm.
