Global WealthTech deal activity dropped by 16% QoQ in Q1 2025
In the first quarter of 2025, the Global WealthTech market recorded 112 deals, reflecting a 16% decline from the 133 deals seen in Q4 2024 and a steep 81% drop compared to the 605 deals recorded in Q1 2024.
Total funding in Q1 2025 amounted to $2.3bn, down slightly by 2% from the $2.4bn raised in Q4 2024 and significantly lower than the $9.4bn seen in Q1 2024 — a dramatic 75% year-over-year decline.
The average deal size in Q1 2025 rose to $21m, up from $18m in Q4 2024 and more than double the $16m average recorded in Q1 2024, indicating a market trend where fewer but larger deals are being made.
Deals over $100m increased by 28% as investors focused on larger deals
Funding from deals under $100m totalled $1.1bn in Q1 2025, a 23% decline from the $1.4bn raised in Q4 2024 and down 79% from the $5.1bn recorded in Q1 2024.
Meanwhile, high-value transactions worth $100m or more reached $1.3bn, up 28% from the $1.0bn raised in Q4 2024 but still down 70% from the $4.3bn seen in Q1 2024.
The resurgence in larger deals quarter-over-quarter suggests renewed appetite among investors to back established WealthTech platforms, even as overall funding and deal activity continue to reflect a cautious and highly selective investment climate.
