Transaction Highlights
SC&H Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to CDM Retirement Consultants (CDM) in its acquisition by Northwest Plan Services (NWPS), a portfolio company of Pine Tree Equity Partners. NWPS provides retirement plan recordkeeping and participant services to over 200 companies.
SC&H Capital’s goal was to ensure the best possible scenario for CDM’s ownership – and the company has a whole – going forward. This acquisition allowed both NWPS and CDM to collectively provide retirement plan services for approximately $10 billion in assets and 180,000 plan participants.
This transaction positioned NWPS with a strong presence on each coast, and CDM shareholders with liquidity.
