Titan Wealth has secured a major investment from US-based private equity firm Parthenon Capital.

It will work closely with Titan Wealth and its management team to support further growth in the business, including investment in technology and client service. The investment, which is subject to FCA approval, also provides access to additional capital to support future M&A.
A spokesperson for the wealth manager confirmed to our sister publication International Adviser that financial details are not being disclosed.
