MDS Financial salvages online broker
Melbourne-based online share broker Trader Dealer has flagged that it is close to resuming trading following the completion of an agreement between MDS Financial Group and Norris Smith Stockbrokers.
MDS Financial took control of the Trader Dealer business assets earlier this month and Norris Smith will now provide executive services.
MDS Financial announced last week that it and corporate advisory firm Red Box would acquire Trader Dealer’s business assets, including its operating systems and clients, as part of a joint venture put together in the aftermath of the Opes Prime collapse.
MDS Financial Group chairman Sean Rothsey said Trader Dealer’s clients would now have certainty thanks to Norris Smith coming onboard.
“We’ve been working flat-out to ensure that clients experience the minimum possible downtime and fuss in order to repay their loyalty,” he said.
