Insurance broker NFP has purchased Fiduciary Investment Advisors (FIA), an independent investment consulting firm.

The acquired business has now been integrated with NFP unit DiMeo Schneider & Associates, an investment consultant for retirement plans, nonprofit organisations, and private clients.

FIA has a similar clientele. The business serves retirement plan sponsors, institutional investment pools, non-profit organisations as well as private clients.

The merged group has adopted the DiMeo Schneider brand and maintains operational independence.

It has branches in seven locations and caters to clients across 47 states.

FIA president Mark Wetzel calls the deal an “exciting milestone”.
