Avior Capital: Accessing the London market

AVIOR Capital Markets, a South African equities research and trading company, agreed to buy Noah Capital Markets (EMEA) to better serve customers in the UK and Europe. The business would be rebranded as Avior Capital Markets International, which would be regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, Cape Town-based Avior said yesterday. Accessing the London market directly will improve Avior’s ability to execute orders on dual-listed shares. “We see opportunities to further grow our African equities, fixed-income and derivative dealing capability,” Kevin Mattison, a director at Avior Capital Markets, said. – Bloomberg
