Davy Private Clients, a wealth manager based in Northern Ireland, has agreed to purchase Belfast-based financial adviser Pension & Financial Consultants (PFC) for an undisclosed sum.

PFC has 4,000 clients and £600m of assets under management.

The transaction, which is subject to approval from the Financial Conduct Authority, is scheduled to complete in early 2016. This is Davy’s third Northern Irish acquisition since 2013.

The acquisition of PFC will bring Davy’s assets under management in Northern Ireland to £1.25bn with more than 65 staff.

Upon completion of the deal, PFC’s directors and staff will relocate to Davy’s new Northern Ireland headquarters in Donegall Square North, Belfast.

Davy Private Clients is also planning a recruitment drive under which it will recruit senior, highly qualified investment and financial planning professionals in Belfast and London.
