The takeover allows WTW to offer private equity-related investment possibilities to wealth clients at a wider scale and at the same time deliver more complex investment programmes and solutions to the institutional investors. “We’re pleased to welcome FlowStone Partners to WTW as part of our Investments business,” said Julie Gebauer. “FlowStone meaningfully expands our capabilities and commitment to the wealth space with new private market solutions.” The deal reflects WTW’s ongoing strategy to deepen its presence in the growing alternatives market and to deliver innovative, high-value investment solutions across a diverse client base.
