Italy on the radar"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Canaccord up for sale: UK wealth becomes battleground for funds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale of <strong>Canaccord Genuity<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>UK<\/strong> <strong>wealth division<\/strong>, valued at <strong>more than 10 times operating profit<\/strong>, has sparked interest from major global <strong>private equity funds<\/strong>. In addition to Bain Capital and Clayton, Dubilier &amp; Rice (CD&amp;R), Centerbridge is also mentioned in the dossier, while the names of CVC and Advent had previously been circulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message is clear: in UK wealth, there is competition between financial sponsors over assets now considered strategic platforms. The hypothetical valuations confirm that wealth is no longer an ancillary business, but a financial infrastructure with high industrial value. The UK market is now a pure private equity market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why private equity is entering wealth: a structural choice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a sudden phenomenon, but an acceleration that became evident during 2025. With net interest income stabilizing and moderate economic growth, the profitability of financial intermediaries has shifted structurally towards commission-based, recurring, and predictable revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, <strong>wealth management<\/strong> emerges as one of the few segments capable of guaranteeing <strong>visibility <\/strong>on<strong> cash flows<\/strong> and <strong>margin resilience<\/strong>. For the most advanced European operators, <strong>wealth<\/strong> now accounts for between <strong>25% and 40% of non-interest revenues<\/strong>, a share that has been growing steadily since <strong>2022<\/strong>. Consistently, in <strong>2025<\/strong>, over <strong>20% of M&amp;A transactions<\/strong> in <strong>European financial services<\/strong> involved <strong>asset<\/strong> and <strong>wealth management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Revenue diversification<\/strong> has become a <strong>structural<\/strong> element of <strong>business models<\/strong>,\u201d explains <strong>Mirko Sanna<\/strong>, Director and Lead Analyst Financial Institutions at <strong>S&amp;P Global Ratings<\/strong>, pointing out that <strong>wealth<\/strong> and <strong>insurance<\/strong> are now central to sustaining profitability in the medium term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Private equity as a driver of consolidation: those who remain small risk being left out<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>European wealth management<\/strong> remains <strong>highly fragmented<\/strong>, especially outside the <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong>. This fragmentation creates fertile ground for <strong>buy-and-build<\/strong> strategies, typical of <strong>private equity<\/strong>. In <strong>2025<\/strong>, according to <strong>aggregate market estimates<\/strong>, over <strong>60% of M&amp;A transactions<\/strong> in <strong>European wealth management<\/strong> involved the direct or indirect involvement of <strong>private equity funds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scale<\/strong> is no longer an option, but a <strong>necessary condition<\/strong> for sustaining rising <strong>regulatory costs<\/strong>, <strong>technology investments<\/strong>, and <strong>international growth plans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>Wealth management<\/strong> is a <strong>business of scale<\/strong>, and the differences between operators will tend to widen,\u201d reiterates <strong>Mirko Sanna<\/strong>, clarifying how <strong>M&amp;A<\/strong> represents a <strong>structural<\/strong>, not cyclical, response to this context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wealth as a private market distribution platform: PE buys to control distribution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The real paradigm shift concerns the function of wealth management. For private equity, it is no longer just a matter of acquiring a consulting structure, but a distribution and capital allocation platform, increasingly integrated with private markets and private credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to industry estimates, the private market already accounts for between 20% and 30% of UHNWI client portfolios, a share that is set to grow further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe value today lies in the ability to <strong>scale advisory platforms<\/strong> with <strong>recurring revenues<\/strong> and a <strong>loyal customer base<\/strong>,\u201d notes <strong>Michael Silverstein<\/strong>, Partner and Head of Financial Services at <strong>Bain Capital Europe<\/strong>. It is no coincidence that <strong>Bain Capital<\/strong>, with over <strong>$215 billion in assets under management<\/strong>, views <strong>European wealth<\/strong> as a <strong>long-term industrial lever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evelyn Partners: the UK as a laboratory for consolidation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canaccord<\/strong> is not an isolated case. At the same time, <strong>Evelyn Partners<\/strong> is in an advanced stage of sale. The platform manages approximately \u00a364 billion in assets and, according to market rumors, is valued at over \u00a32.5 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current transactions indicate that in Europe, wealth managers are trading at multiples of between 15 and 17 times EBITDA, compared to around 20 times in North America. The United Kingdom thus confirms its role as the laboratory of consolidation, where private equity and industrial buyers compete for the same assets. The <strong>benchmark for multiples<\/strong> is now set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Schroders surprises: profits above expectations thanks to wealth and private markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The case of Schroders offers concrete confirmation of the direction taken by the sector. The British group surprised the markets with profit guidance well above expectations, attributing much of the improvement to growth in the wealth management and private markets segments, which offset the weakness of more traditional asset management activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time of <strong>pressure on margins<\/strong>, <strong>Schroders<\/strong> demonstrates that the integration of <strong>asset management<\/strong>, <strong>alternative solutions<\/strong>, and <strong>distribution<\/strong> can become a <strong>direct driver<\/strong> of <strong>profitability<\/strong> and <strong>revenue stability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message is clear: the <strong>model<\/strong> works, and the <strong>markets<\/strong> reward it. When <strong>wealth<\/strong> is well structured and connected to the <strong>private market<\/strong>, it is not only <strong>defensive<\/strong> but also growth-oriented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Private markets in wealth: the numbers that explain the urgency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u20ac88 billion<\/strong>. This is the amount that will have flowed into <strong>Europe<\/strong> by mid-<strong>2025<\/strong> in <strong>evergreen<\/strong> and <strong>semi-liquid<\/strong> funds, more than double the amount at the beginning of <strong>2024<\/strong>. At the same time, <strong>PwC<\/strong> estimates that <strong>private market revenues<\/strong> could reach <strong>$432.2 billion<\/strong> by <strong>2030<\/strong>, accounting for more than <strong>half of the total revenues<\/strong> of <strong>global asset management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing some of the biggest <strong>players in private capital<\/strong> strengthening their <strong>efficiency<\/strong> and <strong>operational capabilities<\/strong> even in more complex market environments,\u201d notes <strong>Eric Janson<\/strong>, <strong>Global Private Equity and Principal Investors Leader<\/strong> at <strong>PwC US<\/strong>, highlighting how <strong>distribution<\/strong> has become a <strong>critical lever<\/strong> for <strong>value creation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Map of Europe: where private equity buys wealth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>geography of investments<\/strong> is not random. In the <strong>United Kingdom<\/strong>, <strong>wealth management<\/strong> represents the <strong>core market<\/strong> for <strong>private equity<\/strong>, thanks to <strong>mature platforms<\/strong>, a large <strong>UHNW<\/strong> client base, and an easily scalable <strong>advisory ecosystem<\/strong>. In the <strong>Nordic countries<\/strong> and <strong>Switzerland<\/strong>, the focus is on <strong>platform companies<\/strong>, <strong>efficient<\/strong> and <strong>technologically advanced<\/strong> operators that serve as hubs for pan-European growth strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>Germany<\/strong>, <strong>wealth<\/strong> is primarily <strong>ground for consolidation<\/strong>, while <strong>Italy<\/strong> and <strong>Spain<\/strong> are emerging as <strong>next targets<\/strong>: markets that are still <strong>fragmented<\/strong>, but with a growing weight of <strong>wealth<\/strong> in <strong>revenues<\/strong> and high potential for <strong>M&amp;A<\/strong>. <strong>Italy<\/strong> is now <strong>on the radar<\/strong>, not on the sidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The key point: whoever controls the relationship controls the allocation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of private equity&#8217;s interest in wealth management is a decisive variable: control of the customer relationship. In a context where the private market is becoming structural in large asset portfolios, overseeing wealth means influencing the allocation of capital in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cControl of the relationship with the client is increasingly central,\u201d observes Sarah Youngwood, Global Head of Financial Services at Cd&amp;r, explaining why wealth now represents a privileged entry point for private equity capital. From this perspective, Canaccord, Evelyn, and Schroders are not isolated episodes, but pieces of a new <strong>competitive balance<\/strong> that is reshaping <strong>European wealth management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wealth has become a strategic asset for private equity, as demonstrated by Canaccord and Evelyn Partners.
