By GlobalDataEuropean Wealth chairman Kenneth West said: “With a much stronger balance sheet and new supportive shareholders, the Group will be in a position to continue to expand, with a particular focus initially on the institutional capability within the investment management business, European Investment Management (EIM), where we have already built a formidable reputation over the last four years.
“It is the Board’s intention to expand its offering through the introduction of an equity service to the institutional marketplace together with exploring the possibility of launching additional institutional style funds using our UCITs structure in Dublin. We have completed the first step of this approach with the relaunch of the existing equity fund as a Global Managed Strategy Fund.”
