Canadian investment manager Onex Corporation has completed its previously announced acquisition of a majority stake in OneDigital, a US provider of employee benefits insurance brokerage and retirement consulting services.

The stake was acquired for a consideration of about $960 million.

The deal, which was signed in October 2020, values OneDigital at $2.65 billion.

Onex made the new equity investment through Onex Partners V and certain co-investors.
