Fisher Investments has expanded its investment management services to high-net-worth (HNW) investors and families in Ireland with the establishment of a subsidiary, Fisher Investments Ireland.
The development comes close on the heels of the investment adviser’s expansion into Australia this year.

Fisher Investments CEO Damian Ornani said: “The decision to expand into Ireland was a logical step given the success we’ve experienced with our client-first model elsewhere in Europe.
“It’s another milestone in our mission to better the investment universe and help more clients globally.”
Fisher Investments Ireland, which is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, is currently in the process of hiring candidates for sales, service, and operations roles in Ireland.
Fisher Investments senior executive vice-president of the Private Client Group International Carrianne Coffey said: “We’re honoured to help HNW clients in Ireland reach their financial goals.
“We look forward to showing Irish investors how our tailored portfolio management, personalised client service and structure that always puts their interests first, can help them plan for brighter financial futures.”
Fisher and its subsidiaries manage over €158bn in assets globally with more than €121bn for private investors, €35bn for institutional investors and €1bn for US small to mid-sized business retirement plans.
In 2014, Fisher opened a new branch office in Dubai International Financial Centre as part of its effort to grow business operations regionally.
In March this year, UMB Bank, a subsidiary of UMB Financial, established a new office in Dublin, Ireland, to offer aviation trust services through its Specialty Trust and Agency Solutions group.
Last December, American brokerage firm Interactive Brokers Group secured authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland to set up its entity in Ireland.
