SYDNEY, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Enfinium International Holdings Limited ("Enfinium ") is pleased to announce that its controlling ownership interest was acquired by AIP Global Holdings Limited ("AIP Global") on April 25, 2012. This acquisition gives AIP Global an even more prominent position in the online financial services industry, following its recent investment in GO Markets Pty Ltd. ("GO Markets").
The strategic move creates a significant alliance for technology and infrastructure between the operations of Enfinium and GO Markets. Such a partnership allows for the development of an even stronger internal infrastructure, with Enfinium's extensive experience with high-end trading systems providing GO Markets with a stronger pool of resources to utilize. With the operational divisions of the two brands combined, the companies expect to achieve immediate synergies in the businesses and are confident that the joint forces can better position themselves as the premier online forex trading providers in the European and Asian markets.
Both companies will remain independent with different product and service offerings, however we will engage joint activities focusing on further enhancing and building upon leading technology, to achieve even tighter pricing and deeper liquidity.
Combining Enfinium's leadership in global trading operations and GO Markets' extensive experience in the retail forex industry, the alliance will deliver an overall improved end-user experience for both organizations' clients.
