"The combination of Polaris and Greystone brings together two well-established investment advisory firms and enhances our ability to provide superior wealth management and retirement planning services," said Jeff Powell. "We share the same values and commitment to our clients, and together we can offer a broader portfolio of solutions to high net worth families and private businesses, through a larger team of talented professionals. We are excited by the opportunity to build on the PGFG platform to expand our services and extend into other key wealth markets throughout the United States."

"In today's challenging financial services marketplace, investment advisors need greater scale to deliver a full range of resources to clients," noted Todd Moss. "By joining forces, Polaris and Greystone will have the critical mass to provide an enhanced range of products, attract talented employees, and support our business with the right technology and systems. We are enthusiastic about our ability to grow as a unified firm, while maintaining our tradition of excellent wealth management services."
