JBWere continues research and distribution strategy
JBWere has entered into a strategic research and distribution alliance with investment bank, Moelis Australia.
The company said the non-exclusive arrangement would allow JBWere's Australian clients to access a broader range of equity deals and Initial Public Offerings and that, additionally, JBWere clients would benefit from access to Moelis' specialist investment research, covering over 60 companies in Australia with a strong focus on small/mid cap companies and the real estate sector.
Commenting on the arrangement, JBWere chief executive, Justin Greiner said the firm was focused on providing a market leading and differentiated service to its private wealth clients.
"This alliance with Moelis Australia is another important step forward for our business, extending what is already a comprehensive offering to our clients," he said.
He said the alliance with Moelis Australia was part of JBWere's strategic plan to diversify its research and distribution arrangements having earlier this year announced a non-exclusive arrangement with investment bank, UBS.
