- (1888PressRelease) February 22, 2012 - Worldlink Group plc. (LSE: WGP) and Chryson Wealth Management announce today that they are in negotiations to create a Joint Venture (JV) partnership. This will bring Worldlink's existing business together with Chryson's Wealth Management expertise to create a new entity to operate alongside Chryson's established business. As a result of this JV, clients will have access to the extended services.
In addition, Worldlink Brokers Limited has entered into an agreement to become an Authorised Representative of Chryson following approval by the FSA. Both parties see this as a sensible first step whilst the details of the JV are finalised, which is anticipated to complete within 3-6 months.
In anticipation of this, Worldlink Brokers Limited are finalising their new trading website which will go live in the next few days. The mobile platform is covered by the gatekeeper Worldlink patents covering change data in real time on mobile devices.
Neil Riches Managing Director of Worldlink commented: "The patents that form the core of Worldlink's business were born out of the developments in mobile technology nearly 13 years ago. Applying the scope of those patents to providing real time data for financial markets allowing trading from all mobile devices has been the objective of the Group for a long time, and will become a significant revenue stream for the Company following the formation of the joint venture.
Gaining market share will be enhanced by the marketing capability of Chryson and the recognition of Chryson brand as a market leader in contract for difference trading. I see only synergistic benefits for our clients from this development and I look forward to building on this relationship to generate a sizeable business for the JV."
Malcolm McNiven, Managing Director of Chryson said:" The investment community is becoming increasingly a mobile community and we want to get access to the best quality mobile offer we can for our clients so they can trade wherever they happen to be. Worldlink are an ideal partner for us as not only do they provide a robust mobile trading platform the protection of the Worldlink patents allows us to ring fence any additional market share we generate, an important advantage in a very competitive arena. We agree that there is a great deal of synergy in this relationship and anticipate a long and fruitful partnership"
