Hoxton Wealth Enters Asia With Major Acquisition
Dubai-based Hoxton Wealth has taken a decisive step into Asia with its acquisition of Infinity Financial Solutions, adding $300 million in assets under management.
The move marks the firm’s largest deal to date and signals a new chapter of growth across the region’s rapidly evolving expat financial services market.
Hoxton Wealth’s acquisition of Infinity Financial Solutions, a firm renowned for serving expatriates across Asia since 2004, marks its first-ever deal in the region. The transaction not only expands Hoxton’s geographic reach but establishes a regulated footprint in key Asian markets – a significant milestone for the UAE-headquartered wealth manager.
Boosting Assets and Regional Influence
The deal adds $300 million to Hoxton’s assets under management, pushing its total AUM to $3.3 billion. With Infinity’s established base across Asia, Hoxton now stands to access one of the fastest-growing hubs for international wealth and cross-border financial planning.
Infinity’s offering aligns well with Asia’s vibrant expat population. Its expertise includes international investments, pension planning, savings, and trust structuring – all critical services for mobile clients.
For corporate clients, it delivers employee benefits, corporate insurance, company formation support, and risk management, making it an ideal partner for Hoxton’s expansion strategy.
Acquisition as a Breakthrough
Chris Ball, CEO of Hoxton Wealth, described the acquisition as a breakthrough. «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 undoubtable potential for significant growth,» he said, highlighting the alignment with the firm’s global ambitions.
Hoxton’s diverse team – with advisors from the UK, France, China, Japan, and other countries – reflects the international nature of its clientele. Revenue Director Oliver Gorman, who spent a decade working in Malaysia, stressed the cultural fit between Hoxton and Infinity: «This is about more than expansion – it’s about alignment.»
Positioned for the Next Phase
With 7,000 clients and a global team of 300 across offices in the UAE, UK, USA, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, and Cyprus, Hoxton is now primed to make Asia a key pillar of its international growth.
As the firm sets its sights on future acquisitions in the US, its deepening commitment to Asia underscores the region’s growing importance in global wealth management.
