London – Mayer Brown has advised Epiris LLP on Epiris Fund III’s proposed acquisition of Winterflood Business Services (“WBS”), a leading provider of trading and custody solutions to the UK wealth management industry, from Marex Group plc.
Founded within Winterflood Securities in 2010, WBS has grown to become the UK market leader in exchange-traded dealing and custody for retail wealth platforms. WBS operates in a market supported by strong structural growth drivers, including the continued shift from mutual funds to exchange-traded products and the ongoing trend towards outsourcing technology and dealing infrastructure.
The transaction is subject to certain conditions including regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first part of 2026.
