FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Investment Software Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lincoln Investment Capital Holdings, LLC, today announced the acquisition of Hanlon Advisory Software ("HAS"), a division of Hanlon Investment Management, of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Financial terms were not disclosed.

We are really excited to embrace all they bring to our company." 

Over the last several years, Lincoln Investment has grown exponentially both organically and through making acquisitions. The need to successfully unify and enhance systems supporting the advisor-client experience is a cornerstone of both the company's growth and client service strategies. The integration of HAS across Lincoln Investment will accelerate the implementation of the company's five-year technology roadmap, introduced in early 2020. The combined technical expertise of HAS and Lincoln Investment will enhance the firm's ability to drive the future of advisor-client engagement.

"Lincoln Investment is an exceptional financial services company with strong values and a genuine commitment to ensuring a superb advisor-client experience. This commitment reassures us that years of developing and enhancing the Hanlon Advisory Software platform will continue and accelerate as the platform meets its full potential," said Sean Hanlon, CEO of Hanlon Investment Management. "We have transferred our engineering expertise and software to fuel Lincoln Investment's growth, integral to the future of Lincoln."
