UK retail fund managers Lloyd George Mangement have joined the EMX Message System. According to the company, the decision followed “encouragement” from their distributors.
“A number of our intermediaries have encouraged our entry onto the EMX platform and we are delighted that our funds are now available for trading,” says Lloyd George Head of Collective Fund Sales, Andrew Atkins. “We believe that the EMX platform will offers investors a fast, superior service and will give greater access to our new range of emerging markets funds.”
Looyd George is about to launch a range of new funds, including Asian Small Companies Fund, GEM Small Companies Fund, China Fund, Asia Pacific Fund and Developed Asia Fund.
“Lloyd George are a great addition to our client list”, says EMXCo Head of Sales and Marketing, Tony Wood. “Many of our distributor clients were very keen to be able to deal with them using the EMX message standard and signing our third new fund manager in January has been a great start to 2005.”
EMXCo says it added more than 60 new clients in 2004 and routed over 5.5 million messages over the twelve months.
