1 Apr 2026|4 min read

W1M Wealth Management Ltd (“W1M”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed its acquisition of Vermeer Partners (“Vermeer”), following regulatory approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”).

Vermeer’s integration into W1M is already underway, with Vermeer colleagues expected to move to the W1M London office in the coming weeks, where they will continue to serve their existing client base with minimal disruption.

Simon King, former Vermeer CEO, will continue at W1M in an advisory role during the integration of Vermeer into W1M.

The acquisition of Vermeer reinforces W1M’s commitment to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families and takes W1M to circa £27 billion in AUM, up from £18 billion in June 2024 when Waverton and London & Capital merged. This strong growth has been underpinned by new demand for W1M’s integrated offering.

Guy McGlashan, CEO of W1M Wealth and Investment Management, commented:

"It is with great pleasure that we officially welcome Vermeer to the W1M team. Vermeer brings with them a track record in client service innovation and outstanding investment expertise. Above all, they share a deeply held conviction that it is our role as wealth and investment managers to provide dependable solutions to our clients’ financial challenges and objectives. We look forward to ensuring a smooth transition for Vermeer’s clients, maintaining exceptional service, and introducing them to W1M’s unique offering.”
