“Can a white-label investment platform built for UK and international advisers become the infrastructure layer for managed-portfolio delivery across discretionary and advisory firms globally?”
Originally founded as Praemium International Limited in 2006, the platform was built as a digital-first investment administration system for financial advisers and discretionary managers operating in the UK and internationally. Morningstar acquired the business in 2022 for £35 million, integrating it as the Morningstar Wealth Platform — its white-label, adviser-facing investment platform offering managed accounts, portfolio management, and reporting tools. The platform now operates as part of Morningstar's Wealth segment, with operations spanning the UK, Jersey, Hong Kong, and Dubai, serving over 255,000 financial advisers globally. A subsequent sale of the wealth management platform assets to AssetMark Financial Holdings was reported.
