NEW YORK, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Accelerated Wealth Partners (“AWP”), a specialized investment firm focused on scaling high-performing Registered Investment Advisors, today announced a strategic investment in RIA Advisors, a premier independent wealth management firm based in Houston, Texas. This partnership is designed to transform RIA Advisors into the preeminent destination for high-net-worth families across the state of Texas.

We intend for this firm to be the ‘home of choice,’ not only for clients seeking sophisticated advice but also for elite advisors and Texas-based RIAs who wish to join a partnership that values quality and independence above all else.”
RIA Advisors is known for its deep financial planning roots and its active investment philosophy rooted in macro-economic analysis and a disciplined approach to risk management. Through this partnership, RIA Advisors will expand its internal capabilities to include tax, trust and estate services, and other services, providing a truly comprehensive family office experience.

We remain committed to our planning-led approach and our rigorous investment process, ensuring our clients receive the highest caliber of advice as we grow our enterprise.”
