The company has announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that it has picked up the holding in Lonsec allied to the development of a new annuity product.

Commenting on the transaction, GDG chairman, Rob Coombe said the firm was embarking on significant step in progressing its growth strategy through the combination of organic and inorganic growth initiatives.
