Alpha FMC acquires Elgin White to boost platform capability

Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (Alpha FMC), a global financial services consultancy, has agreed to acquire Elgin White Limited, a specialist investment technology and platform delivery consultancy.

The deal expands Alpha FMC’s investment platform transformation offering, bringing in significant implementation and delivery expertise, notably in Charles River Development (CRD).

The acquisition follows Alpha FMC’s recent purchase of JPSB, which had added SimCorp capability to the firm’s portfolio. Together, the two acquisitions broaden Alpha FMC’s coverage across major investment platform providers and reinforce its position as a specialist partner for large-scale, multi-platform transformation programmes.

Elgin White brings more than a quarter of a century of experience working with global financial institutions, with over 100 consultants active across four continents. The firm has established itself as a market leader in CRD professional services and has built a strong track record delivering complex platform transformation programmes.

The combined entity is positioned to serve clients across front-, middle- and back-office transformation, drawing on both firms’ sector expertise and delivery capability.

Completion of the transaction is anticipated within the coming weeks, pending customary closing conditions.

Alpha FMC global head of asset & wealth management consulting Joe Morant said, “This is another important step in building out our investment platform capability. Elgin White brings deep expertise in platform delivery, particularly across Charles River Development, and further strengthens our ability to support clients across large, complex transformation programmes. Combined with our recent investments, we are continuing to build a truly integrated proposition across advisory and delivery.”

Elgin White managing director David Harvey said, “We’re very excited to be joining Alpha. There is strong alignment in how we work with clients and the values we bring to our teams. Being part of Alpha gives us the opportunity to scale our impact globally, while continuing to focus on delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients.”
