Wealthy Hoxton firm expands into Asia through fresh acquisition
Hoxton Wealth, a UK-based financial services company, has made its first significant move into the Asian market with the acquisition of Infinity Financial Solutions. This move marks a strategic milestone for Hoxton Wealth, as it seeks to expand its footprint and support its existing business in the UK, while also aiming to elevate its valuation to £3bn ($4bn) by the close of 2025[1][2][3].
The acquisition, completed in mid-2025, adds £225m ($300m) to Hoxton’s assets under management (AuM), bringing the total AuM to £2.5bn ($3.3bn), more than doubling their AuM within one year[1][2][3]. Infinity Financial Solutions, a provider of expat financial services with offices across Asia, will provide Hoxton Wealth with a regulated presence in key Asian markets.
The strategic growth timeline of Hoxton Wealth includes a focus on Asia-Pacific hubs like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, alongside global financial centers[1][2]. The company plans further geographic expansion with a particular focus on Singapore and aims to operate in Kuala Lumpur, Australia, India, the UAE, Europe, the UK, the US, and South Africa.
Hoxton Wealth’s growth strategy includes building presence via acquiring established firms like Infinity to gain local expertise and regulatory footholds. The company also aims to cater to internationally mobile clients, especially UK expats, with services covering investments, pensions, savings, trusts, international banking, and insurance[1][2][3]. Additionally, Hoxton Wealth plans to expand its offerings such as employee benefits, group pension schemes, corporate insurance, risk management, and company formation.
CEO Chris Ball emphasizes that while the earlier acquisition focus was UK-centric, expanding into Asia marks a significant strategic milestone, with the US identified as the next target market after Asia[1][2]. The acquisition by Hoxton Wealth is expected to strengthen Infinity Financial Solutions' presence in the Asia region.
It is important to note that Infinity Financial Solutions is not a subsidiary of Bank of Singapore (OCBC), and the financial specifics of the transaction are undisclosed[4]. The acquisition does not involve any reports from GlobalData as of the provided text.
Prior to this acquisition, Hoxton Wealth had already made strides in the UK market. Earlier this year, it acquired advisory firm Family First Financial Services, based in Darlington, UK[5].
In summary, Hoxton Wealth’s Asian expansion is anchored on acquiring Infinity Financial Solutions in 2025, targeting Singapore and other Asian financial hubs, with a timeline to significantly grow AuM and company valuation by the end of 2025, leveraging acquisition-led growth and servicing globally mobile expatriates and corporations.
