Adds scaled derivatives ETF capabilities to accelerate growth in defined outcome strategies

Expands WisdomTree’s Models and Portfolio Solutions capabilities and strengthens UK distribution presence

NEW YORK & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

WisdomTree, Inc. ( WT ) , a global financial innovator, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Atlantic House Holdings Limited (“Atlantic House”), a London-based systematic manager specializing in defined outcome and derivatives-driven investment strategies, with approximately £4.11 billion (approximately $5.5 billion) in assets under management.

The acquisition advances WisdomTree’s strategy of combining strong organic growth with disciplined inorganic expansion and enhances its long-term growth profile through expanded product capabilities, broader distribution, and a deeper model portfolio footprint.

Key Highlights:

Expands global defined outcome and derivatives ETF capabilities, accelerating product innovation and launch capacity

Extends WisdomTree’s Models and Portfolio Solutions platform into the UK wealth market

Enhances cross-distribution through established UK adviser relationships and broader European reach

Accelerates growth, diversifies revenues and expands revenue yields and margins

Modestly accretive in 2026, with future upside from revenue synergies and operating scale

The purchase price is £150 million (approximately $200 million), payable at closing, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, subject to approvals, financing and other customary closing conditions.

Strategic Rationale:

Advancing Active ETF and Defined Outcome Capabilities

The acquisition strengthens WisdomTree’s position in one of the fastest-growing segments of asset and wealth management by bringing in house established derivatives and systematic investment expertise with a proven track record. It expands the firm’s ability to design, launch and scale differentiated active ETFs and outcome-oriented strategies across global markets.

Expanding Models and Portfolio Solutions Platform

The acquisition also extends WisdomTree’s Models and Portfolio Solutions platform into the UK, building on established momentum in the United States. The added scale enhances portfolio construction capabilities, supports asset durability within the wealth channel and improves the resilience and quality of the firm’s revenue mix over time.

Expanding UK Adviser Distribution with Global Application

Atlantic House brings established relationships across the UK independent financial adviser market, enhancing WisdomTree’s distribution reach and supporting accelerated growth. This mirrors WisdomTree’s successful integrations of Boost ETP in 2014 and ETF Securities in 2018, where existing relationships helped scale the UCITS platform to approximately $15 billion in assets2.

Disciplined and Growth-Oriented Transaction

The acquisition is expected to be modestly accretive and is consistent with WisdomTree’s disciplined capital allocation framework. By combining complementary product capabilities and distribution strengths, the transaction positions the firm for incremental revenue growth through product expansion, cross-distribution and enhanced model portfolio capabilities.

Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree’s Founder and CEO, said, “Atlantic House strengthens WisdomTree ( WT ) across multiple dimensions. It enhances our defined outcome and derivatives capabilities, expands our Models and Portfolio Solutions platform in the UK, and deepens our presence within the wealth channel. Importantly, it aligns with our disciplined capital allocation framework while positioning the firm for incremental revenue growth. This transaction also advances our multi-year strategy to build a more diversified and higher-quality growth platform, expanding on WisdomTree’s 2025 acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC and our strategic entry into private markets.”

Tom May, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic House, added, “Joining WisdomTree enables us to enhance our investment offering through WisdomTree’s extensive research capabilities and distribution platform. We see a significant opportunity to broaden access to our strategies across Europe and the United States, while continuing to serve our existing clients with the same disciplined approach and investment philosophy. Our products will continue to be managed by the same investment team, under my leadership as Global CIO, Outcome and Derivative Strategies at WisdomTree.”

Following the closing of the transaction, Atlantic House’s investment team will continue to manage existing strategies while working with WisdomTree ( WT ) to expand capabilities across ETF and model portfolio platforms.

Alexis Marinof, CEO, Europe, WisdomTree ( WT ), said, “This acquisition represents an important step in our global growth strategy. Atlantic House has built a differentiated defined outcome, derivatives and model platform with a disciplined investment approach and established client relationships, aligning closely with our strategy to deliver scalable, innovative capabilities to meet evolving client needs. We look forward to welcoming the team to WisdomTree.”

This transaction advances WisdomTree’s strategy of expanding in structurally growing segments of asset management, including active ETFs, outcome-oriented alternatives and managed models. By integrating differentiated derivatives expertise with its global distribution network, the firm enhances its ability to innovate across public markets while deepening its presence in the wealth channel. Together with its existing strengths in ETFs, private markets and tokenization, the acquisition strengthens the firm’s capacity to deliver differentiated exposures and long-term value for clients and stockholders.

Following the completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that WisdomTree ( WT ) will manage approximately $163 billion3 in assets globally.
