US financial services consultancy Treliant LLC has acquired the Northern Ireland-based regulatory change and capital markets specialist Vox Financial Partners.
The takeover was finalised on 13 August but the terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Vox, which was founded in Belfast in 2016, focuses on a wide range of regulatory change management projects, including recent work on Uncleared Margin Rules, the Securities Financing Transactions Regulation, and Basel III capital and liquidity coverage requirements that are highly relevant to the investment banking and securities financing community.
In January, Vox purchased Delv Global, a business and technology implementation company that focuses on data, technology, regulatory and change management for financial, risk, project control, operations, treasury and front-office projects.
Treliant was established in 2005 and has offices in Washington DC and New York. The Vox purchase is the latest landmark in its efforts to expand its European footprint and capital markets consulting capabilities, the company says.
Treliant CEO B. Scott Fisher says that Vox Financial Partners is a natural fit for Treliant. “[Vox co-founder and CEO] Terry Robinson and the Vox leadership team have worked on some of the most complex initiatives and delivered major change in some of the largest global investment banks.”
Robinson adds: “[Treliant and Vox Financial Partners] share similar values and goals; forming and maintaining long-term relationships with our clients is of critical importance. We look forward to working together to bring Vox’s capital markets expertise and delivery capabilities to a broader global audience.”
Following the acquisition, Terry Robinson will become CEO of Treliant’s capital markets practice.
