Hoxton Wealth expands to Asia with Infinity deal

An international wealth manager is expanding its global presence with a major acquisition.

Hoxton Wealth, which operates from London, Liverpool and Birmingham, has completed the purchase of Infinity Financial Solutions, a leading expat financial services firm with multiple offices across Asia. 

This marks Hoxton’s first acquisition in Asia and its largest deal to date.

Bosses say the deal brings an additional £225 million in assets under management (AUM) to Hoxton Wealth, helping boost its total AUM from £1.2 billion to £2.5 billion in just 12 months – a 105 per cent increase that marks its fastest period of growth to date.

They add that Infinity’s expertise in international banking, pensions and corporate benefits will complement Hoxton’s existing wealth management services.

Oliver Gorman, revenue director at Hoxton Wealth, who spent ten years working in Malaysia before joining the business in 2024, said: “Infinity has built an exceptional business, that’s a credit to its leadership – and entire team.

“The decision by the partners to sell to Hoxton wasn’t just a strategic one, it was about ensuring their clients and staff are part of something with real long-term vision.

“This is about more than expansion, it’s about alignment. 

“Hoxton Wealth is home to a truly international advisory team, with advisors from the UK, France, China, Japan, and beyond. 

“With this acquisition, we’re strengthening our presence in key Asian markets and continuing our mission to deliver world class, fully regulated financial planning no matter where our clients are in the world.”

Trevor Keidan, managing director of Infinity Financial Solutions, added: “We are delighted to have agreed the acquisition of the company by Hoxton Wealth. 

“We believe this will further strengthen our presence in the Asia region, ultimately providing significant enhancements to our offering and providing clients with additional services from the experienced in-house team at Hoxton Wealth. 

“Hoxton Wealth has invested significantly in technology, enabling it to provide traditional financial planning powered by cutting edge technology and we are very excited to launch these services to Infinity clients.”

With a client base of 7000 and more than 300 employees worldwide, Hoxton Wealth continues to grow rapidly, strengthening its footprint in key global markets including the UAE, USA, South Africa, Mexico, Australia and Cyprus.

Chris Ball, chief executive of Hoxton Wealth, added: “So far, our acquisition strategy has focused on the UK domestic market, with the objective of growing our footprint and supporting existing business in the country. 

“A lot of our clients are UK expats, so a strong presence in the UK builds confidence among those with ties to the country.

“Branching out across Asia is a huge step for us. 

“We are very excited to begin connecting with new clients and partners in a region where we did not previously have a huge presence, but which has an undoubtable opportunity for significant growth.

“For me, the next place we would love to start acquiring businesses is the US – it is a golden market.

“The last year has seen our AUM double and while a significant proportion of that has been through our ambitious acquisition strategy, the vast majority has been a result of organic growth, underpinned by the determination of our team.”
