Belfast financial planning business Doherty Pension & Investment Consultancy has been bought by a London-listed peer for over £15 million.
The purchase by Mattioli Woods will see all of Doherty’s 31 staff retained by the new parent company, along with its 1,320 private clients and assets of over £635 million.
It said the acquisition extends and scales the group's existing operations in Northern Ireland, adds investment expertise to its existing discretionary management proposition and brings experienced advisers to its consultancy team.
