M&A market update<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

August proved to be a dynamic month in the sector, with notable developments across mergers and acquisitions (M&A), strategic exits and funding of new growth vehicles. Two new consolidators were created via platform investments in the wealth management market, one of which is linked to Paul Hogarth \u2013 renowned for his success with Perspective and Tatton. His involvement suggests it will likely become an active acquirer of IFAs (independent financial advisors). In a strategic shift, Aberdeen announced its exit from the financial planning market and Intelliflo began a new chapter under the ownership of U.S. private equity (PE) firm Carlyle, marking a significant milestone in its growth journey. The retail savings space also saw further consolidation with Octopus Money acquiring Virgin Money\u2019s investment business. In total, five deals exceeding \u00a35 million in value were recorded across the investment sector during August, reflecting continued momentum in M&A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deal activity in August was balanced across the market spectrum, with three transactions exceeding \u00a325m in value, including one above \u00a3100m. This marks a moderation from the concentration of larger deals seen in July and signals a return to a more typical distribution of deal sizes. Year-to-date, most UK transactions (74%) remain below \u00a3100m, consistent with historical norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PE-backed buyers remained the dominant acquirer group in August, accounting for four out of the five recorded transactions, either directly or through portfolio companies. The remaining deal involved a privately owned buyer, only the second such transaction in 2025. This aligns with historical patterns, where privately owned firms tend to be one of the least acquisitive cohorts. Notably, there were no acquisitions by overseas or publicly listed buyers during the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition includes Intelliflo\u2019s U.S. subsidiaries RedBlack and Intelliflo Portfolio, which will be carved out as standalone entities.
