Canada’s TD Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï is expanding in the US with the acquisition of New York-based broker-dealer Albert Fried & Company.
TD Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s new US prime brokerage business will be led by David Santina, managing director of equities. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Acquiring US clearing and a technology platform enhances our capabilities and lays a solid foundation for us to integrate prime brokerage into our client service offering and expand our US business," commented Glenn Gibson, senior vice president and vice chair of TD Íø±¬³Ô¹Ï in the US.
He added: “Our plan is to complete the technology platform development with the aim to be fully operational in the prime brokerage business in 2017.�
Albert Fried expanded into prime lending in 2013, giving the prime broker the capability to provide both securities lending and select prime services to hedge funds, traders and other buy-side clients.
