CHICAGO & RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 2, 2024 – Curi, a national healthcare advisory firm comprised of three distinct businesses: Curi Advisory, Curi Capital, and Curi Insurance, today confirmed the completion of its previously announced acquisition of RMB Capital and the merger between Curi Capital and RMB Capital (“RMB”), creating a registered investment advisory firm with more than $11.3 billion in assets under advisement.1 Terms were not disclosed. 

Curi Capital CEO Dimitri Eliopoulos is now the CEO of the new combined entity, Curi RMB Capital. RMB founding partner and CEO Dick Burridge is the Executive Chairman and remains in his role as co-Chief Investment Officer. The leadership teams of both firms remain intact. 

“The completion of the Curi Capital and RMB Capital merger is an energizing way to kick off 2024,” said Jason Sandner, Curi’s Chief Executive Officer. “The past 12 months have been truly transformational for our company, marked by strategic decisions and investments that have strengthened our ability to serve our clients, particularly our physician base and the broader healthcare community, in more ways and in more geographies than ever before.” 

“It’s an exciting day for us to have this transaction completed, and it’s just the beginning of our bright future together,” said Eliopoulos. “We’re eager to hit the ground running serving our clients as Curi RMB Capital. With our alignment on leadership, values, and culture plus our complementary strengths, we will continue to build on our combined legacies of putting clients at the center of everything we do.”  

“This merger is an important step for both firms,” said Burridge. “The combined firm is able to move forward with permanent, long-term capital, which is a true differentiator in our industry. It ensures that we can make long-term decisions that will benefit both our employees and our clients for decades to come.” 

Curi RMB Capital is headquartered in Chicago. Curi Capital’s former Raleigh headquarters are now an important office in the Southeast for the new combined entity. The firm has approximately 180 employees and expects to hire additional staff in 2024.
