How toinvestyourclients 5 funds

The most important factor When it comes to investing client funds, and particularly so in the current economic climate, safety and security must be paramount con- siderations. Placing funds on deposit with a reputable and sound institution undoubtedly provides as near maximum safety as one can get, in a year of floating currency fluctuations, falling stock prices and many other un- certainties. Guinness +Mahon Ltd. werefounded in 1836, and nowform a part of the Guinness Peat Group, whose interests embrace not only merchant banking but commodity broking, mer chanting, insurance, food, shipping and aviation. Guinness +Mahon are a Scheduled Bank under the Solicitors Regulations Act, and are therefore an authorised recipient of clients' funds. Deposits with Guinness +Mahon also qualify as Auth- orised Investments under the Trustee {Authorised Investments) Act. Profitable growth Seeking sound growth undoubtedly forms part of the protection you can give your client's funds. Deposit interest rates with financial institutions can vary significantly, both from house to house, and according to the form of deposit selected. It pays to make certain that you are getting the best possible terms avail- able at the time. Guinness + Mahon offer extremely keen deposit rates for various types of deposits, and also go to great lengths in helping you choose the type or length of deposit that suits you best. A specific enquiry to Ian Kelly, the Deposits Manager, Dublin, or Peter Tuite, Manager, Cork, will give you an up-to-the-minute quota- tion, and any advice you might require. Professional expertise As a professional yourself, you will un- doubtedly appreciate a skilled, personal ap- proach to your own problems. The whole area of deposits and money markets is highly skilled, and it pays you to choose an institution whose expertise and connections reflect this.

Guinness +Mahon, as Merchant Bankers, can offer a particularly satisfactory service in this area. Deposits have always formed a significant part of their total business, and they have built up a formidable reputation for the skill and personal attention they can provide to each of their depositors. Flexibility The essence of merchant banking probably lies in the flexibility and innovativeness which merchant bankers can bring to the business of banking. Each transaction can be treated on its individual merits, and no run-of-the-mill solu- tions, which may not truly mirror the require- ments of the transaction, need be forced on it. Guinness +Mahon pride themselves on the imaginative and personal approach they can take to each problem. This important element of flexibility allows them to tailor your investment solution to your exact requirements. Reciprocality Business is a two-way affair. The institution you choose should be prepared to provide finance for your clients in appropriate cases. Guinness+Mahon are conscious that this is a perfectly legitimate requirement on your clients' part, and are very willing to consider proposals on a selective basis, provided in general that amounts exceed £10,000 and that the need is for short term working capital or finance of a bridging nature.
