Craigs Investment Partners has agreed to buy Christchurch wealth management firm Hamilton Hindin Greene continuing it push into the regions.
In 2025 Craigs acquired Hawkes Bay firm Somerset Smith Partners, and last month it announced the acquisition of Dunedin-based financial planning and wealth management firm phwealth.
Acquisitions continue to be integral to Craigs’ growth strategy, Craigs Chief Executive Simon Tong says.
“The agreement with Hamilton Hindin Greene aligns strongly with Craigs’ growth strategy and strengthens our position as an independent, nationwide leader in personalised wealth management,” Tong says.
“We continue to see opportunities across New Zealand where Craigs’ holistic approach, national scale and global insights can support the growth of local firms and the goals of their clients.”
Tong said that while Craigs is pursuing opportunities throughout New Zealand, growing the firm’s presence in Christchurch was timely.
“Canterbury is the fastest growing region in New Zealand with strong demand for local wealth management services backed by global reach that Craigs offers. As a result of the transaction, Craigs grows its existing 20-strong Christchurch branch and satellite office in Rangiora to 28 investment advisers.”
Hamilton Hindin Greene Chief Executive Ian Perry says the firm sought an opportunity that would enhance advisers’ ability to deliver products and services to its clients.
“This sale opens up a world of support and resource for clients and advisers that will take the client experience to the next level.”
The acquisition grows the Craigs’ group more than 210 advisers across 24 locations with more than $35 billion in funds under management.
