Report: Warburg Pincus Looking to Sell Kestra Majority Stakes

Warburg Pincus is reportedly seeking a sale of a majority stake in its $117B RIA/broker-dealer subsidiary Kestra Holdings. 

According to a Citywire report citing an unnamed source, Warburg Pincus has solicited the service of investment bank Evercore in conducting the sale of its ownership stake. Warburg Pincus has held a majority position in Kestra since 2019 after its acquisition from Stone Point Capital. 

The potential sale will be Kestra’s latest recapitalization since Oak Capital Hill purchased Stone Point’s remaining minority stakes in 2022. As of the end of 2023, Kestra oversees a combined $164B in AUA and AUM across more than 1,700 financial representatives in its core advisory and brokerage business.
