JP Morgan’s Nutmeg Agrees to Buy UK Pensions Software Firm WealthOS

An internal Nutmeg memo casts the purchase as a way to bring pensions technology alongside deep sector expertise.

Overview

  • Sky News reports that Nutmeg informed staff this week it had agreed to acquire WealthOS.
  • JP Morgan declined to comment publicly and the purchase price was not disclosed.
  • An internal memo cites roughly 275,000 Nutmeg customers and says the deal provides access to cutting-edge capabilities.
  • WealthOS, founded in 2019 and chaired by former Google executive John Herlihy, builds pensions and wealth-management software.
  • The company’s workforce spans the UK and a product and engineering hub in Sri Lanka, aligning with JP Morgan’s recent UK retail push including its 2021 Chase launch and reported £700m Nutmeg acquisition.
