Alvarium Investments, a multifamily office with stakes in some City of London hotels, has snapped up five small wealth-management firms in the past eight months, adding about $1 billion in client assets.

The latest acquisition was Paris-based asset manager Iskander, Alvarium said in a statement Thursday that didn’t include terms. Other recent purchases include U.K.-based Casteel Capital in February, Swiss multifamily office Albacore in November and two New Zealand-based money managers.
