The latest deal raises Allianz’s stake in Moneyfarm and makes it the largest minority shareholder in the digital wealth manager. Allianz will now have two seats on Moneyfarm’s board.

The Allianz transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of this year, pending regulatory nod.

Allianz first acquired a minority stake in the digital wealth manager in September 2016. Also, in March 2018, Allianz Global Investors tapped Moneyfarm to develop an active wealth management solution for its UK employees.
