The Law Firm of Weiss & Lurie Investigates The Edelman Financial Group Inc.

Weiss & Lurie, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of The Edelman Financial Group Inc. (“TEFG”) (NASDAQ: EF) arising from its agreement for TEFG to be acquired by affiliates of Lee Equity Partners, LLC for $8.85 per share. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2012.

Weiss & Lurie is investigating whether TEFG’s Board acted in the best interests of shareholders in approving this deal. TEFG recently reported that, during its last quarter, its assets under management increased to $16.3 billion from $15.8 billion in the prior quarter, and that it earned $13.7 million from core operations in 2011 as compared with $4.3 million in 2010, representing nearly a 219% growth.
