As I have previously advised the Deputy for commercial confidentiality reasons AIB has confirmed that it does not publicly disclose the details of contracts with individual external service providers. However, the bank can confirm that for the purpose of asset valuation, separate advisors were used by AIB and the Trustees of the AIB Pension Fund.
