European WealthTech deal activity dropped by 59% YoY
In 2025, the European WealthTech market continued to contract sharply, with both deal activity and funding falling further from already subdued levels in 2024.
The sector recorded 158 deals, representing a 59% decrease from the 381 transactions completed in 2024 and a dramatic 92% decline compared with the 2,064 deals seen in 2021.
Total funding dropped to $2.9bn, down 36% from the $4.5bn raised in 2024 and marking an 84% fall from the $18bn invested in 2021.
This sustained deterioration highlights the ongoing challenges facing the European WealthTech ecosystem, with investor appetite continuing to weaken amid prolonged market uncertainty.
UK cemented its place as the leader in the WealthTech market with 47% of all deals
The UK remained the leading WealthTech hub in Europe in 2025, with companies in the country completing 74 deals (47% share), although this represented a 39% decline from the 121 deals (32% share) recorded in 2024.
France ranked second with 19 deals (12% share), down 50% from 38 deals (10% share) in the previous year, while The Netherlands emerged as the third most active market with 11 deals (7% share), replacing Germany, which had completed 46 deals (12% share) in 2024.
Despite the significant reduction in deal volumes, the UK and France both increased their share of total European activity, suggesting a growing concentration of WealthTech investment within a smaller number of core markets as overall activity continues to contract.
Coremont, a London-headquartered provider of real-time, multi-asset class portfolio management software and analytics for asset managers, hedge funds and financial institutions, completed one of the biggest European WealthTech deals of the year with a $40m strategic growth investment
The round was from funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, which oversees $295bn in assets under management.
The investment underscores Coremont’s role as critical infrastructure for buy-side firms seeking cloud-native alternatives to legacy portfolio management systems, particularly as market volatility drives demand for real-time risk analytics, advanced derivatives modelling and scalable data integration.
Coremont’s platform delivers live portfolio monitoring, stress testing and scenario analysis across fixed income, equities, currencies and commodities, while combining intuitive user interfaces with robust API connectivity to support increasingly complex investment strategies.
The new capital will be used to expand product coverage into emerging asset classes and alternative strategies, embed AI-driven analytics and natural-language tools across investment teams, and further enhance real-time risk management capabilities, supporting Coremont’s continued growth across Europe and globally as wealth and asset managers modernise their technology stacks.
