relationships and pursue front-office innovation
GTCR, a private equity firm, has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement
to acquire FMG Suite (“FMG” or “the Company”), one of the largest providers of advisor-
led marketing automation software used by financial advisors and insurance
professionals, from Aurora Capital Partners (“Aurora”).
Founded in 2011, FMG provides marketing automation solutions to wealth advisory and
insurance professionals, helping advisors and agents drive organic growth through
omnichannel marketing solutions that maximize efficiency and ensure compliance. The

workflows create a mission critical “one stop shop” for advisors seeking enhanced client
engagement. FMG currently serves over 50,000 financial professionals and, through its
Agency Revolution brand, over 3,500 property and casualty insurance agencies.
Leveraging FMG’s history of customer-centric product innovation, under GTCR’s
ownership the Company will continue to build out its product suite and technology
capabilities to meet the evolving needs of its client base and expand its market reach.
FMG represents the latest partnership in GTCR’s long history of investing in wealth,
marketing and insurance services and technology, including current investments in
AssetMark, AssuredPartners, CAPTRUST, Foundation Source, Simpli.fi and Winged
Keel.
“Scott and his team have built an exceptional business that is uniquely positioned to
