Wealth management firm lines up £52m Irish deal

Wealth management firm Brewin Dolphin, which has offices in Leicester, Lincoln and Nottingham, is in talks to acquire Investec’s wealth management business in Ireland.

Reports over the weekend said that the firm was in competition with Allied Irish Bank to snap up the private client business for up to £52m.

This was confirmed this morning, when Brewin Dolpin issued a statement saying: “Brewin Dolphin notes the recent press speculation regarding its interest in acquiring Investec’s wealth management business in the Republic of Ireland. Brewin Dolphin is in exclusive discussions with Investec in relation to this possible acquisition.

“Discussions are ongoing and there can be no certainty that a transaction will be agreed.”
