The European WealthTech sector experienced a significant contraction in 2025, yet the United Kingdom remarkably solidified its position as the market leader, capturing nearly half of all deals completed across the continent. This resilience from the UK, alongside a substantial investment in London-based Coremont, offers a glimpse into the evolving dynamics of WealthTech amidst a period of economic uncertainty.
European WealthTech Faces Steep Decline in 2025
The year 2025 marked a continued downturn for the European WealthTech market, with both investment activity and funding levels plummeting further from the subdued figures of 2024. The sector registered a mere 158 deals, representing a sharp 59% year-over-year decrease from the 381 transactions recorded in 2024. This figure pales dramatically in comparison to the 2,064 deals witnessed during the market’s peak in 2021, signifying a staggering 92% decline over four years.
Similarly, total funding allocated to European WealthTech firms fell to $2.9 billion. This was a 36% reduction from the $4.5 billion raised in 2024 and an even more pronounced 84% drop from the $18 billion invested in 2021. This sustained deterioration underscores the formidable challenges confronting the European WealthTech ecosystem, as investor confidence remains weakened amid prolonged market volatility and uncertainty.
UK Leads European WealthTech Despite Overall Market Contraction
In a testament to its robust financial technology landscape, the UK maintained its status as Europe’s premier WealthTech hub throughout 2025. British companies secured 74 deals, accounting for an impressive 47% share of all European activity. While this volume reflects a 39% decrease from the 121 deals (32% share) in 2024, the UK’s increased market share highlights its comparative strength and attractiveness for investment.
France emerged as the second most active market, completing 19 deals (12% share), though this also marked a 50% decline from its 38 deals (10% share) in the previous year. The Netherlands climbed to third place with 11 deals (7% share), displacing Germany, which had been a significant player with 46 deals (12% share) in 2024. The ability of the UK and France to expand their share of total European activity, despite the widespread reduction in deal volumes, suggests a notable consolidation of WealthTech investment within a concentrated group of core markets.
Coremont Secures Significant $40M Investment
A standout moment in 2025 was the strategic growth investment of $40 million secured by Coremont, a London-headquartered innovator specializing in real-time, multi-asset class portfolio management software and analytics. This substantial funding round was led by funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, a firm overseeing $295 billion in assets.
This investment underscores Coremont’s pivotal role as critical infrastructure for buy-side financial institutions. Their cloud-native solutions are increasingly preferred over legacy portfolio management systems, especially as market volatility intensifies the demand for sophisticated real-time risk analytics, advanced derivatives modeling, and scalable data integration capabilities.
Coremont’s powerful platform offers live portfolio monitoring, stress testing, and scenario analysis across a broad spectrum of assets including fixed income, equities, currencies, and commodities. Its intuitive user interfaces combined with robust API connectivity are designed to support complex and evolving investment strategies. The newly acquired capital is earmarked for strategic initiatives, including expanding product coverage into emerging asset classes and alternative strategies, embedding AI-driven analytics and natural-language tools for investment teams, and further enhancing real-time risk management capabilities. This funding will fuel Coremont’s continued growth across Europe and globally as wealth and asset managers accelerate the modernization of their technology infrastructure.
