Dublin Investment Firm To Expand
A Dublin-based international investment house has announced plans to expand its operations in Ireland.
Smith & Williamson said it intended to develop its investment management in Dublin.
The expansion of the business is to include an investment and pensions section that will create more than a dozen jobs and cater for private clients, trusts, charities and institutions.
Financial services executive, Chris Kenny, commented: "We have confidence in the prospects for the Irish economy, despite the recent atmosphere of financial gloom. We know that Ireland is a driver of SME and entrepreneurial activity producing many outstanding national and international businesses."
The firm currently has an office in Sandyford - Smith & Williamson Freaney - that provides tax and business advice. It was established following a merger with Dublin accountancy firm Oliver Freaney, known for its work for Dunnes Stores, in 2008.
Smith & Williamson has more than €12 billion of funds under management in the UK. It has an office in Belfast, which trades as Cunningham Coates Stockbrokers.
