Söderberg & Partners, Artorius Wealth Management
Swedish wealth manager Söderberg & Partners is making a "significant investment" in the UK's Artorius Wealth Management, The deal, which marks a big step in its expansion into the UK’s high net worth (HNW) and family office sector, is subject to approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the firm announced yesterday.

Alongside its track record of serving advisory firms across the UK in the HNW and family office market, the group has invested in a number of HNW and family office-focused businesses in Scandinavia, helping them scale through technology and long-term capital support. 

“Artorius sets the benchmark for specialist wealth management in the HNW market. This investment represents a clear evolution in our UK strategy. Alongside Artorius, we intend to support and fund the acquisition of similar specialist firms and high-quality teams seeking to move away from larger banks and wealth managers, in favour of a more personal and holistic model," Gustaf Rentzhog, CEO of Söderberg & Partners, said.

“This partnership marks an important milestone for Artorius and the next chapter of our growth. With Söderberg & Partners’ long-term backing, we can accelerate our expansion while staying true to our belief that wealth management should be crafted entirely around each client," Paddy Lewis, CEO of Artorius Wealth Management, said.  

The investment builds on Söderberg & Partners’ long-term strategy of supporting high quality UK wealth and advisory businesses. The partnership with Artorius signals the company’s entry into the HNW and family office sector, which is one of the most specialised and rapidly growing areas of the UK wealth management market.
