Atria Wealth Solutions announced plans Thursday to acquire Western International Securities, a Pasadena, Calif.-based independent broker/dealer with over 400 advisors and $13 billion in client assets under administration. The deal, expected to close in the first quarter 2020, would bring Atria’s total network to nearly 2,500 advisors and $80 billion in assets.

Western International Securities would be Atria’s fifth IBD acquisition since it was launched in August 2017 by former Morgan Stanley executive Doug Ketterer.
