led by founder Adrian Durham, FNZ has been accelerating its consolidation efforts recently.

Last week, the firm agreed to buy Zürich-headquartered Appway in a bid to expand its capabilities in enterprise-grade low-code no-code workflow automation with deep domain expertise across the entire wealth management value chain.

Last month, it signed a deal to acquire Fondsdepot Bank, a Germany-based trading and custody platform, following its takeover of direct-to-consumer digital investment platform Hatch.

The firm also bought State Street’s US wealth manager services business this April, after acquiring a majority stake in the business in July last year.

In 2018, FNZ was scooped up by Generation Investment Management and Canadian pension fund Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec in deal that valued the firm at $2.2bn.

Singaporean investment firm Temasek acquired a stake in the firm last year.
