Key Global WealthTech investment stats in H1 2025:
- Global WealthTech deal activity plummeted by 67% YoY
- US firms secured 43% of all WealthTech deals in Q1 to cement the country’s status as the leading global WealthTech hub
- FNZ, a global end-to-end technology platform powering wealth and asset management businesses, secured one of the biggest global WealthTech deals of the first half of the year with a $500m equity injection from its long-term institutional backers
Global WealthTech deal activity plummeted by 67% YoY
In H1 2025, the Global WealthTech market saw a continued decline in both funding and deal activity following a sharp contraction in H2 2024.
Total funding dropped to $5.6bn, down 1% from the $5.9bn raised in H2 2024 and a substantial 58% decrease from the $13.3bn raised in H1 2024.
Similarly, the number of deals fell slightly to 373 in H1 2025, representing a 3% decline from the 386 deals completed in H2 2024 and a 67% drop from the 1,147 deals recorded in H1 2024.
This persistent decline highlights ongoing investor caution and reflects a cooling period for the WealthTech sector globally after a period of strong growth.
US firms secured 43% of all WealthTech deals in Q1 to cement the country’s status as the leading global WealthTech hub
The US remained the leading WealthTech market globally in H1 2025, completing 162 deals (43% share), although this represented a 61% decline from the 417 deals recorded in H1 2024.
The UK followed with 39 deals (10% share), a narrower 54% decrease from 84 deals a year earlier.
India secured third place with 21 deals (6% share), moving ahead of China, which had recorded 84 deals (7% share) in H1 2024 but did not rank among the top three in H1 2025.
Despite the overall decline in absolute deal numbers, the US and UK increased their relative shares, signalling that while global investment slowed, these countries retained their prominence within the WealthTech landscape.
