Limerick financial advisor set for Dublin expansion

Gallivan Financial is majority-owned by the Gallivan family, who previously sold Gallivan Murphy Insurance Brokers to US-based Assured Partners in 2022.

GALLIVAN Financial, which owns the Limerick-based financial advisors FJ Hanly and Associates, is expanding into the Dublin market for the first time.

Killarney-based Gallivan Financial, who acquired FJ Hanly and Associates last year, is now buying Dublin-based Mount Street Group and Tralee-based Kelly O’Shea Pensions and Financial Services for an undisclosed sum.

These acquisitions will increase Gallivan Financial’s total assets under management (AUM) to more than โ‚ฌ650million.

With several additional deals currently in exclusivity, Gallivan is now on track to surpass โ‚ฌ1billion in AUM by the end of this year.

Fergal Smith, Gallivan Financial managing director, said:”We’re excited to welcome the Mount Street and Kelly O’Shea teams to Gallivan Financial. From the outset, it was clear that our shared values and commitment to client-focused advice were strongly aligned.

Gallivan Financial was not part of that transaction and has now embarked on a significant growth trajectory.
