The Guinness family office, Iveagh, has begun distributing its range of funds in Northern Ireland.
The retail asset management business, which is run by the Guinness family, said the range offers investors access to the “investment team who manage the private investment portfolios of key members of the Guinness family, including Lord Iveagh”.
Local firm, Summit Wealth Solutions has been appointed to distribute the funds, which include the Iveagh Wealth Fund and the Iveagh Core Portfolios.
Speaking at an event at the Stormont Hotel in Belfast, the chairman of Iveagh, the Right Honourable the Earl of Iveagh, Edward Guinness, said: “We are so pleased to be able to proactively offer Northern Ireland investors the Iveagh Wealth Fund and Core Portfolios.
“Our investment team has performed astonishingly well given the recent turbulent years and I really believe that we have an excellent offering which can benefit all kinds of investors. We look forward to visiting Northern Ireland regularly in the future.”
The company recently appointed a new chief executive, Richard Ford, who replaced Paul Ross who had been CEO since 2006.
