    Finish the 4 in-flight integrations to close the synergy gapAct now
    Why it matters

    Avg synergy is only 74% of plan banked; the unrealized balance is EBITDA already underwritten but not yet captured.

    What's driving it
    • Avg synergy 74% of plan
    • 4 businesses in flight ($96.69M revenue)
    FYI
    • In flight: Equity Portfolio: Hybrid Fund, Debt Portfolio: Hybrid Fund, Nippon AIF Growth Opportunities, Nippon Wealth Management
    • EBITDA uplift to date +$14.07M
  2. 2
    Recover Nippon Wealth Management — lowest synergy at 40%Act now
    Why it matters

    Nippon Wealth Management is the weakest cohort on synergy capture; a 90-day savings plan on the gap is unrealized EBITDA.

    What's driving it
    • Nippon Wealth Management synergy 40% · 45% integrated
    • 0 in-flight brand(s) with DSO above as-acquired
    FYI
    • Status: Early
    • EBITDA 4.69→5.27%

    Why it matters

    Move to credit hold pending paydown; reforecast ARR net of likely churn.

    What's driving it
    • Overdue AR
    • Signal: Alert
    FYI

    Distress filings + overdue AR; churn risk High on $6.4M account.
