Overland Park-based Mariner announced it has acquired Hyre Personal Wealth Advisors, adding approximately $325 million in assets.

The transaction bolsters Mariner’s presence in the Ohio market and establishes the company’s second office in Columbus and its eighth in the state, according to a release. Mariner is expected to add five new team members with the acquisition, including three advisors.

The deal closed on April 30 with Hyre Personal Wealth Advisors officially joining Mariner on May 1. Mariner is now serving approximately 2,600 clients in Ohio.

Founded in 2005 by Jim Hyre, Hyre Personal Wealth Advisors offers financial, estate, and tax planning and investment and charitable giving strategies.

“Identifying and integrating exceptional talent is core to how we grow Mariner with purpose,” CEO and president of Mariner, Marty Bicknell, said. “Jim’s wealth of experience, particularly in guiding clients before and during major life events, brings a level of insight and relationship depth that strengthens our entire organization.”

In March, Marnier acquired Newport Beach, Calif.-based Ocean Heights Advisors, a wealth management firm with $730 million in assets.
