Corient Reportedly Expands International Reach with Acquisition of French Multi-Family Office

Miami-based wealth management firm Corient has reportedly acquired LetUs Private Office, a French multi-family office, as part of its ongoing international expansion strategy. This move follows a series of high-profile acquisitions and strategic alliances across the US, EMEA, and Canada designed to build a unified global platform for ultra-high-net-worth clients. The firm's rapid growth underscores its ambition to lead the independent advisory sector and may accelerate its timeline for a potential initial public offering in 2026.

Corient, which rebranded from CI Private Wealth nearly three years ago, is reportedly continuing its international growth trajectory with the acquisition of LetUs Private Office, a multi-family office based in France. While neither firm has officially confirmed the deal, reports indicate the transaction was finalized last Friday. This move aligns with CEO Kurt MacAlpine’s stated goal of transforming Corient into a global platform rather than a collection of regional acquisitions, positioning the firm as a dominant player in the EMEA market.

The reported French acquisition follows a year of significant expansion for the Miami-headquartered firm. Recent additions to its portfolio include the $5.6 billion AUM Vivaldi Capital Management in Chicago and the $10.7 billion AUM Bedrock Group, a Swiss-based multi-family office. Additionally, Corient recently established a presence in Canada and formed a double strategic alliance in the EMEA region with Stonehage Fleming and Stanhope Capital Group. These alliances collectively represent over $214 billion in client assets, significantly enhancing Corient’s capacity to serve ultra-wealthy families globally.

According to MacAlpine, these strategic moves have made Corient the largest integrated wealth management firm in the United States and the world’s largest independent advisory firm focused on high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The firm’s rapid scaling across multiple international markets is viewed as a precursor to a potential initial public offering. MacAlpine has previously suggested that an IPO could occur as early as the first or second half of 2026, provided the firm maintains its current momentum and integration goals.
