Osaic Holdings Inc.

Overview

Osaic Holdings Inc. is a financial services firm offering a range of investment solutions and services. The firm serves approximately 11,000 financial professionals and over 250 financial institutions managing more than $700 billion in assets. While Osaic was initially a network of independent broker-dealers, in 2023, the company began the process to integrate all the firms under the Osaic brand and service platform, which it completed in early 2025. Osaic also has four Advantage Companies: Highland Capital Brokerage, Ladenberg Thalmann & Co., Inc., Ladenberg Thalmann Asset Management, and Premier Trust. The firm's growth accelerated through a series of strategic acquisitions. In November 2019, Advisor Group announced a major acquisition of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services, valued at $1.3 billion. This deal was a significant milestone, and upon its closing in the first half of 2020, it propelled the combined entity to become the second-largest broker-dealer in the United States. In May 2022, Osaic acquired Infinex Financial Holdings, a firm specializing in providing financial services to banks and credit unions. This was quickly followed by the acquisition of New York-based American Portfolios Financial Services in June, further broadening its network and reach. In December 2023, Osaic acquired Lincoln National Corporation's wealth management business for an undisclosed amount, adding a substantial number of financial professionals to its network. In June 2025, Osaic acquired CW Advisors, LLC for an undisclosed amount, continuing its growth trajectory. As of 2024, 16% of all Osaic financial professionals were women. The firm has a pledge to interview at least one qualified female candidate for every open position. As of 2024, 7 out of 21 senior executive positions at Osaic were filled by women leaders who were promoted internally or hired externally.
