Mr Rees-Mogg is a shareholder of the company, but does not make investment decisions.
“A number of existing and prospective clients requested Irish domiciled access to Somerset’s products. The decision to launch the Fund was nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit,” said Oliver Crawley, a partner at Somerset.

Nothing to do with Brexit, the Ireland Investment decision and JRM does not make investment decisions. This is this ridiculous argument put to bed.
And so what if he co-founded it and makes a nice sum from it, it's totally legal and he is perfectly entitled as are his family, to make a nice profit from it, that's the whole point of being a shareholder.
So he is being attacked here for what exactly (Apart from being a firm believer in Brexit)?
