UBS is closing its British digital wealth management platform and selling the intellectual property rights to wealth management startup SigFig, executives at the Swiss bank told staff on August 29.

UBS decided to discontinue the SmartWealth pilot program, launched in Britain in early 2017, following a review that found the limited short-term potential for the service, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.
