Trevor Keidan of Infinity and Chris Ball of Hoxton Wealth
Fast-growing international Financial Planning firm Hoxton Wealth has completed the acquisition of Infinity Financial Solutions, a provider of expat financial services with multiple offices across Asia.
The deal was for an undisclosed amount.
Infinity was founded in 2004 and has offices in Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The deal will add $300m (£225m) in assets under management to Hoxton’s portfolio, taking its total AUM to $3.3bn (£2.5bn).
For individual clients, Infinity offers internationally-mobile advice on investments, pensions, savings and trusts, in addition to international banking and insurance.
Its corporate division helps companies with a range of services, such as establishing employee benefits, including group pension schemes and employee medical cover. Infinity also assists its commercial clients with company formation, corporate insurance and risk management.
Chris Ball, Hoxton Wealth’s CEO, said: “So far, our acquisition strategy has focused on the UK domestic market, with the objective of growing our footprint and supporting existing business in the country. A lot of our clients are UK expats, so a strong presence in the UK builds confidence among those with ties to the country.
“Branching out across Asia is a huge step for us. 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 an undoubtable opportunity for significant growth.
“For me, the next place we would love to start acquiring businesses is the US - it is a golden market.”
Trevor Keidan, managing director of Infinity Financial Solutions, said: “We believe this will further strengthen our presence in the Asia region, ultimately providing significant enhancements to our offering and providing clients with additional services from the experienced in-house team at Hoxton Wealth.”
Oliver Gorman, revenue director at Hoxton Wealth, who spent 10 years working in Malaysia before joining the business in 2024, said: “Infinity has built an exceptional business. The decision by the partners to sell to Hoxton wasn’t just a strategic one it was about ensuring their clients and staff are part of something with long-term vision.”
UAE-based Hoxton was set up in 2018 by British expatriate Mr Ball, formerly of deVere Group. It was known as Hoxton Capital Management until it rebranded last August. The company said its new branding would help ensure that internationally-minded clients have a place alongside more domesticly-focused clients.
Hoxton Wealth’s client base currently stands at 7,000 individuals, with more 300 staff working at key offices in the UAE, UK, USA, Australia, South Africa, Mexico and Cyprus.
