The independent model is attracting firms because of the freedom and scale it provides

Harbourfront Wealth Group (Harbourfront Wealth) today announced the acquisition of Galliant Advisors LP (Galliant) bringing Harbourfront Wealth’s AUA to more than $23 billion.

“This marks our sixth acquisition in three years and reflects the disciplined growth strategy we have been executing across the country,” said Richard McIntyre, Chief Executive Officer of Harbourfront Wealth. “Galliant is a strategic fit for our business, bringing an experienced team and established client relationships to the firm.”

“When we started Harbourfront Wealth, we saw an opportunity to build a different kind of wealth management platform, one that gave entrepreneurial advisors the structure to grow without losing the independence that made them successful,” said Danny Popescu, Founder and Executive Chair of Harbourfront Wealth. “Galliant’s addition reflects the continued evolution of that vision.”

Founded in 2007, Galliant is a Montreal-based investment management firm offering investment solutions for a growing client base of high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Galliant will become part of Harbourfront Wealth Counsel, the firm’s division for Investment Counsel Portfolio Managers (ICPMs).

“This move is about strengthening what we can deliver to clients,” said Ian Shaffer, President and CIO of Galliant. “Harbourfront Wealth offers the independence, infrastructure and scale needed to support the next stage of our growth, while allowing us to remain focused on client outcomes. For our clients, this means continued access to a trusted team, a disciplined investment process and an enhanced service experience backed by a growing national wealth management platform.”
