On November 10, 2026, Marsh announced an agreement to acquire Wilshire, a global investment consulting, solutions and analytics firm. The transaction would broaden Marsh's investments business into advisor-led wealth and add capabilities in alternatives, model portfolios, data and analytics, according to the Business Wire release.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and client consents. Wilshire's colleagues in the United States, Europe and Asia are expected to join Marsh once the transaction is completed.
Scale For Wealth And Institutions
Wilshire manages 221 billion US dollars in assets and advises on 1.6 trillion US dollars, with both figures measured as of June 30, 2026. Its platform combines multi-asset advice and solutions, alternative investments, indexes, proprietary data, technology and analytics.
Marsh President and CEO John Doyle described the acquisition as a step toward growing the investments business and strengthening its connection to the financial advisor ecosystem. Pat Tomlinson, president and CEO of Marsh People and Investments, said Wilshire would expand scale and capabilities in alternatives, model portfolios and data and analytics.
For investors, the transaction adds another strategic expansion to Marsh's investment activities. The potential benefit depends on regulatory clearance, client retention, integration and the ability to distribute Wilshire's capabilities through Marsh's global platform. The announcement does not provide a purchase price or an earnings contribution, so the near-term financial effect cannot be quantified from the transaction terms.
