WisdomTree Completes Acquisition of Atlantic House, Enhancing Active ETF and Defined Outcome Capabilities

Key Terms

defined outcome financial

A defined outcome is a clear, pre-set result or measurement used to decide whether an experiment, trial, or project met its goals — like a finish line agreed before a race starts. Investors care because whether that specific yardstick is met influences regulatory approval, sales expectations and company value; knowing the exact measure helps assess how credible, risky, or promising reported results are.

derivatives-driven investment strategies financial

Derivatives-driven investment strategies use financial contracts—such as options, futures and swaps—whose value is tied to an underlying asset to pursue goals like boosting returns, protecting against losses, or gaining exposure without owning the asset directly. They matter to investors because these tools can magnify gains and losses, change how quickly portfolio value moves, lower costs or act like insurance, and introduce additional risks such as leverage and counterparties that affect liquidity and volatility.

active etfs financial

An active ETF is an exchange-traded fund that is run by a portfolio manager who makes ongoing buy and sell decisions rather than automatically tracking a fixed index. It matters to investors because it combines the intraday trading and transparency of an ETF with the potential to beat benchmarks through manager skill, but also carries higher fees and the risk that managers’ choices may underperform; think of it as a chef adjusting a recipe instead of following a packaged mix.

models and portfolio solutions financial

Models and portfolio solutions are prebuilt investment blueprints—combinations of a planned mix of stocks, bonds and other holdings plus rules and tools—designed to guide buying, selling and rebalancing decisions. They matter to investors because they turn complex research into a repeatable plan, like following a tested recipe to pursue a goal (growth, income or risk control), helping save time, maintain discipline and compare expected outcomes.

Transaction strengthens Models and Portfolio Solutions capabilities and deepens UK adviser distribution

NEW YORK & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Atlantic House Holdings Limited (“Atlantic House”), a London-based active manager specializing in defined outcome and derivatives-driven investment strategies.

The completion of the transaction advances WisdomTree’s strategy of expanding in structurally growing areas of asset and wealth management. It enhances the firm’s capabilities in defined outcome and derivatives-driven investing, adding a dedicated investment team with deep expertise and a proven track record in the space.

The acquisition strengthens WisdomTree’s ability to design, launch and scale differentiated active ETFs globally, accelerating innovation in outcome-oriented strategies and supporting the planned launch of 15-20 defined outcome ETFs globally, over the next 18 months. It also expands the firm’s Models and Portfolio Solutions platform into the UK wealth market, deepening adviser relationships and enhancing distribution across Europe.

“This is an important step forward for WisdomTree,” said Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree Founder and CEO. “The addition of Atlantic House advances our strategy of expanding in structurally growing areas of asset management, including active ETFs, outcome-oriented strategies and managed models. By combining differentiated derivatives expertise with our global distribution, we are strengthening our ability to innovate and deliver more differentiated solutions that support long-term value for both our clients and our stockholders.”

Tom May, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic House, said, “Joining WisdomTree represents a compelling opportunity to extend our defined outcome strategies and model portfolio offering with greater scale and reach, globally. Our investment team remains in place and will continue to manage strategies with the same disciplined approach and philosophy our clients expect. Together, we are well positioned to expand access to our defined outcome capabilities to a broader investor base.”

Alexis Marinof, CEO, Europe, WisdomTree, added, “This acquisition represents an important milestone in our European growth strategy. Atlantic House brings a differentiated platform, established client relationships and deep expertise that align closely with our focus on delivering scalable, innovative solutions. With the transaction complete, our focus now shifts to execution – bringing these capabilities to a broader client base through our global platform.”

The purchase price was £150 million (approximately $200 million), payable at closing, subject to customary adjustments.

Following the completion of the transaction, WisdomTree manages approximately $163.19 billion in assets globally¹, including assets from its 2025 acquisition of Ceres Partners, marking WisdomTree’s entry into private markets.
