Despite a notable contraction in the broader European WealthTech market, UK firms significantly reinforced their leadership position, capturing 60% of the top ten investment deals during the first three quarters of 2025. This consolidation highlights the UK’s enduring strength as a pivotal hub for wealth management technology, even as overall funding levels saw a substantial year-on-year decline.
A key highlight of this period was Fundment, a pioneering tech platform revolutionizing wealth management for financial advisers, which successfully closed one of Europe’s largest deals with a $55.5 million Series C funding round.
European WealthTech Funding Experiences Significant Downturn
The first nine months of 2025 witnessed a pronounced cooling in the European WealthTech sector. Total funding plummeted by 68% year-on-year, raising only $1.3 billion across 81 deals. This contrasts sharply with the $4.1 billion garnered from 243 transactions during the same period in 2024.
This substantial reduction in both funding volume and deal activity signals a cautious investor sentiment and potentially delays in growth-stage financing. Unlike other FinTech verticals where deal volume might remain stable despite lower funding, the simultaneous drop in both metrics indicates a widespread pullback across the entire WealthTech ecosystem.
UK Solidifies Position as Europe’s Premier WealthTech Hub
The geographical distribution of significant investments underwent a notable transformation. In Q1-Q3 2025, the UK emerged as the dominant force, securing six out of the top ten major WealthTech deals. France followed with three deals, and the Netherlands with one, showcasing a concentrated investment landscape.
This pattern stands in stark contrast to the previous year, when top deals were spread across nine different countries. In that period, the UK accounted for only three major transactions, with other significant investments observed in Jersey, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey, Lithuania, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
The shift towards greater concentration of high-value WealthTech activity within a few core markets, particularly the UK and France, underscores a retreat in substantial investments from smaller, previously active markets. This trend reinforces the critical role of established financial centres in attracting significant capital for wealth management innovation.
Fundment’s $55.5M Series C Round Leads European WealthTech Investments
Fundment, a technology platform dedicated to streamlining administrative processes for financial advisers, successfully closed a $55.5 million Series C funding round. This substantial investment, led by Highland Europe and ETFS Capital, positions Fundment as a leader in the European WealthTech space for the first three quarters of the year.
Fundment’s platform is designed to replace outdated, fragmented infrastructure by offering integrated core services, robust back-office tools, and discretionary investment management capabilities. This enables advisers to deliver more personalized and efficient financial services to their clients. The technology supports various tax wrappers, custom API integrations, and automates complex regulatory tasks, meeting the growing demand for timely, data-driven client interactions.
With an estimated $68 trillion in assets globally expected to transfer over the next three decades, Fundment is strategically positioned to capitalize on these intergenerational wealth shifts. The platform has already established integrations with major financial institutions, including Legal & General, BlackRock, and HSBC, further solidifying its market presence.
