It counts wealth managers AJ Bell, Alliance Trust Savings, Brooks Macdonald, Charles Stanley, Davy, FIS Platform Securities, Interactive Investor, LGT Vestra and Quilter, among others, as clients.
FNZ CEO Adrian Durham said: “We see a great opportunity to not only consolidate our combined position in the UK market, but to take JHC technology propositions into new strategic territories – such as APAC and continental Europe – and into new product areas.
“JHC’s founders and management team have done a fantastic job in developing a loyal client base of more than 60 financial institutions across all asset classes, currencies and instruments.”
At the same time, FNZ recently closed the acquisition of German investment platform ebase- a Comdirect Bank subsidiary- in a €154m deal.
The ebase deal was announced last July.
