The firm has not set a target amount but said it will be a “seven figure sum” which will be decided nearer the launch date this summer.
The proceeds will fund Nutmeg’s international expansion and development of new features for customers of the UK’s largest digital wealth manager.
Martin Steed, chief executive officer of Nutmeg, said: “Nutmeg was the first digital wealth manager to launch in Europe and now we’re opening up ownership of our business to give eligible customers the opportunity to invest alongside institutional investors, venture capitalists and leading entrepreneurs.”
