Davy Group Sale – a statement from our Managing Director, Carl Widger

On Thursday 22nd July, Davy Group announced the sale of its wealth management and capital markets businesses to Bank of Ireland, subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions.
 
This move follows an earlier decision taken in March 2021 to pursue a sale of the Davy Group, and we believe it presents significant opportunities for our clients and for our people here at Metis Ireland.
 
We are pleased that the business remains in Irish ownership, and that we have further clarity around both the ownership structure and the ambitions of Bank of Ireland.
 
Moving forward the Metis Ireland team will continue to focus solely on offering financial planning services, and we are now looking forward to exploring the growth opportunities that this announcement presents.
 
Since our business was established in 2014, we have made it our mission to do things differently. We have always committed to work hard to understand what matters most to our clients and nothing changes in that regard. We are doubling down on our promise to deliver world class, inspirational and innovative financial planning solutions to all of our clients.
 
We look forward to sharing our medium to long term plans with you. As always, if you have any questions regarding this announcement, please do not hesitate to contact your Private Client Manager or any other member of the team at Metis Ireland.
 
On behalf of all of the team here at Metis Ireland, I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of our clients for your continued support.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Carl Widger
Managing Director
