Australia’s JBWere has announced a new strategic research and distribution alliance with an independent investment bank. Earlier this year JBWere announced a non-exclusive arrangement with Swiss bank UBS.

The latest arrangement will allow JBWere’s Australian clients to access a broader range of equity deals and Initial Public Offerings.  Additionally, JBWere clients will benefit from access to independent investment bank Moelis specialist investment research, which covers over 60 companies in Australia with a strong focus on small/mid cap companies and the real estate sector.
