Prominent London-based wealthtech firm ’s acquisition of JHC back in July has allowed the firm to consolidate its UK market and move into “new strategic territories and product areas.” He said Watson has been the driving force behind developing the platform and guiding the company and clients through compliance issues, including MiFID II and GDPR, and his promotion “is richly deserved." JHC provides platform services to a number of prominent UK wealth managers and brokers, including AJ Bell, Brooks Macdonald, Alliance Trust Savings, Charles Stanley, Davy, FIS Platform Securities, Interactive Investor, LGT Vestra and Quilter. The firm has offices in London, Birmingham, Newcastle and Dubai and manages around £160 billion in assets on platforms running its software.
