DUBLIN and CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aon plc (NYSE:AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell a significant majority of NFP's wealth business – Wealthspire Advisors, Fiducient Advisors, Newport Private Wealth and related platforms – to Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("MDP"), a leading private equity investment firm based in Chicago.

Under the terms of the transaction, MDP will acquire the businesses for a total consideration estimated to be $2.7 billion at the time of close, resulting in total after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion.
