Key UK WealthTech investment stats in 2025:
- UK WealthTech funding grew by 6% in 2025
- Deals over $100m increased by 31% YoY as investors prioritised larger deals
- FNZ, a global end-to-end technology platform powering wealth and asset management businesses, secured the biggest European WealthTech deal of the year with a $500m equity injection from its long-term institutional backers
UK WealthTech funding grew by 6% in 2025
In 2025, the UK WealthTech market saw a sharp contraction in deal activity but a modest uplift in total funding compared with 2024.
A total of 49 deals were completed, representing a 45% decline from the 89 transactions recorded in 2024.
Despite this fall in volume, funding increased to $2.5bn, up 6% from the $2.4bn raised the previous year.
This dynamic pushed the average deal size to $50.8m in 2025, more than double the $26.5m recorded in 2024, highlighting a decisive shift towards fewer but significantly larger funding rounds.
Viewed over a longer horizon, the scale of the market correction remains pronounced. Compared with 2021, when UK WealthTech attracted $5.7bn across 465 deals, 2025 funding is 57% lower and deal volumes have fallen by 89%.
Deals over $100m increased by 31% YoY as investors prioritised larger deals
In 2021, deals under $100m accounted for $3bn, while transactions of $100m or more reached $2.7bn.
By contrast, in 2025, sub-$100m deals dropped to $477m, down 42% from $817m in 2024, while deals of $100m and above surged to $2bn, up 31% from $1.5bn a year earlier.
This divergence underlines how today’s UK WealthTech market is being driven almost entirely by a small number of very large rounds, as investors concentrate capital into the most established platforms.
FNZ, a global end-to-end technology platform powering wealth and asset management businesses, secured the biggest European WealthTech deal of the year with a $500m equity injection from its long-term institutional backers
As a key player in modernising wealth management infrastructure, FNZ supports financial institutions worldwide with integrated solutions that streamline operations and enhance client engagement.
This substantial capital infusion strengthens the company’s financial foundation, enabling sustained investment in technology innovation, operational capabilities, and talent.
FNZ’s platform continues to reshape how wealth management services are delivered—improving accessibility, efficiency, and scale—while this latest funding round reflects deep investor confidence in its strategic execution and ambition to lead the future of digital wealth transformation.
Later in the year, FNZ also completed a further strategic financing transaction, marking another significant deal that reinforced its balance sheet and underlined continued investor support for the company’s long-term growth strategy and expansion across global wealth management markets.
