BT Capital Partners (BTCP) and Cabrera Capital Markets, a leader in trading across global capital markets, announce the start of a partnership under which BTCP will provide research and trading services to institutional clients in the United States.

This agreement broadens Cabrera Capital Markets’ institutional clients’ investment options outside the U.S., and for BT Capital Partners it means greater business capacity and visibility in the United States. BTCP is the investment banking arm of Banca Transilvania Financial Group and the exclusive member in Romania of Oaklins, the most experienced global adviser on mergers and acquisitions.

Statements:

• Paul Prodan, Chairman of the Board, BT Capital Partners:"We chose Cabrera Capital Markets for its deep knowledge of emerging markets, outstanding client coverage, and experience in distributing research. In addition, using Cabrera Capital Markets’ services allows us to operate under our own brand, BT Capital Partners, to reach and trade directly for clients in the United States. This type of partnership is ideal for non-U.S. brokers seeking access to U.S. clients."

• Paul Karrlsson-Willis, Managing Director of Equities Sales and Trading, Cabrera Capital Markets: "This collaboration builds on Cabrera’s efforts to deliver top-quality research to institutional investors in the United States.
