After completion and subject to regulatory approval, the business will be merged into Titan Wealth International, creating a combined entity of significant global scale and capability.

This acquisition marks a transformative moment for the international advisory sector by redefining the global landscape for cross-border wealth management and setting a new benchmark for standards, scale, and service.

The enlarged group will offer a broad licensing footprint, enhanced discretionary and investment management services, and expanded client support infrastructure. It will bring together the strength of Titan’s institutional expertise with Blacktower’s four decades of international advisory experience.

“This significantly increases our ability to support and advise our clients across multiple jurisdictions due to Blacktower’s regulatory coverage, and adds £2.2 billion ($3 billion) in assets under management to the Titan Wealth International group,” Dan Dickinson, chief executive officer of Titan Wealth International, said. “Furthermore, this agreement aligns with our vision to deliver seamless, regulated financial advice across key global markets and provides the scale, licensing and infrastructure to deliver that ambition.”

“This announcement will create a global business with the reach, strength and technical capability to deliver the highest possible standards of cross-border financial advice. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for the industry,” John Westwood, group chairman of Blacktower Financial Management, added.

“This agreement reflects a shared vision  one focused on innovation, client outcomes and sustainable international growth,” Gavin Pluck, group managing director of Blacktower Financial Management, continued. “By aligning the strengths of both organisations, we are poised to transform the way cross-border financial advice is delivered, ensuring long-term value for clients and stakeholders alike.” 

The firm has been making a number of acquisitions, most recently with the purchase – subject to regulatory approval – of Independent Wealth Planners, a provider of financial planning solutions across the UK.

Titan Wealth was formed in 2020 to deliver industry solutions and outcomes to both retail and institutional clients. It offers a vertically integrated set of wealth management solutions spanning financial planning, investment management, platform, and custody. Headquartered in London, Titan Wealth serves clients domestically as well as overseas through its operations in the Channel Islands and the UAE.
