London, 13th May 2026: Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (“Alpha”), a leading global provider of specialist consulting services to the financial services industry, has entered into an agreement to acquire Elgin White Limited (“Elgin White”), a specialist consultancy focused on investment technology and platform delivery.
The acquisition further strengthens Alpha’s investment platform transformation capability, adding deep expertise in implementation and delivery, with particular strength in Charles River Development (CRD). This enhances Alpha’s ability to support clients across increasingly complex, large-scale investment technology programmes.
Elgin White brings over 25 years of experience supporting global financial institutions, with more than 100 consultants operating across four continents. The firm has built a strong reputation for delivering complex platform transformation programmes and maintains a market-leading CRD professional services practice.
The transaction further strengthens Alpha’s Asset & Wealth Management technology consulting capability globally. It also complements Alpha’s recent acquisition of JPSB, which added deep SimCorp expertise, broadening Alpha’s capabilities across major investment platform providers and reinforcing its position as a specialist partner for large-scale, multi-platform transformation programmes.
Together, these capabilities position Alpha to support clients across front-, middle- and back-office transformation, combining deep industry expertise with specialist delivery capablity.
Joe Morant, Global Head of Asset & Wealth Management Consulting, Alpha, said:
“This is another important step in building out our investment platform capability. Elgin White brings deep expertise in platform delivery, particularly across Charles River Development, and further strengthens our ability to support clients across large, complex transformation programmes. Combined with our recent investments, we are continuing to build a truly integrated proposition across advisory and delivery.”
David Harvey, Managing Director of Elgin White, said:
“We’re very excited to be joining Alpha. There is strong alignment in how we work with clients and the values we bring to our teams. Being part of Alpha gives us the opportunity to scale our impact globally, while continuing to focus on delivering high-quality outcomes for our clients.”
Stanley Drasky, Managing Director of Elgin White, said:
“Bringing our teams together creates a powerful combination of Alpha’s global advisory platform with our delivery expertise. We see significant opportunity to expand our work across major investment technologies and support clients on increasingly complex transformation programmes.”
Completion of the transaction is expected in the coming weeks, subject to customary closing conditions.
