Davy Stockbrokers looks to the North to grow

Davy Stockbrokers is actively targeting a number of further acquisition opportunities in Northern Ireland as a means of more easily entering the UK market.

The group — Ireland’s leading provider of wealth and asset management and financial advisory services —this week reached agreement to buy Trusted Advisor Group (TAG), a three-year old Dublin-based company which provides outsourcing services to independent financial advisory firms.

Providing support in the areas of compliance, IT, research, marketing and business development, TAG services around 30 of the larger and most progressive advisory firms in Ireland and its acquisition will enhance Davy’s presence in the intermediary sector.
