Cetera-Owned TRPG Acquires Kansas RIA  

Cetera Holdings, which is backed by private equity firm Genstar Capital and the holding company of Cetera Financial Group, announced that The Retirement Planning Group (TRPG) has acquired Dightman Capital Group, Inc., an RIA based in Overland Park, KS. Cetera Holdings acquired TRPG in May 2023. 

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 

Dightman Capital Group, Inc. is owned and operated by Brian Dightman.  As a W-2 advisor at TRPG, he will have access to office support, technology, marketing, insurance and employee benefits. 

“This acquisition represents a continuation of TRPG’s successful M&A strategy, and the first of more to come with the support of Cetera,” said Kevin Conard, CEO at TRPG. “I encourage any independent advisors aspiring to spend more time taking care of their clients – and less time on the operational aspects of running a business – to consider TRPG as a destination of choice.” 

TRPG oversaw approximately $1.8 billion in assets, as of January 31, 2024. In addition to holistic financial planning services, TRPG provides tax solutions and payroll and bookkeeping services. TRPG is headquartered in Leawood, KS, with offices in St. Louis and Denver. 

Cetera oversaw more than $475 billion in assets under administration and $190 billion in assets under management, as of December 20, 2023. More than 12,000 financial professionals and their teams use its wealth hub.
