KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Assets Holding Corporation (Nasdaq:IAAC) and its wholly owned subsidiary FCStone Group, Inc., today announced the launch of the World Food Production Blog at http://www.intlassets.com/Blog/worldfood.aspx. The new blog covers global food supply-and-demand issues, innovations and trends, and features analysis, insight and forecasts from leading FCStone commodity experts.
The blog is part of a completely revamped and redesigned website located at www.Intlassets.com. The site features a new look, improved navigation, and detailed updated information about International Assets' and FCStone's combined services and capabilities since the closing of the two companies' merger.
"The World Food Production Blog will serve as an essential source of objective news and insight for individuals at every stage of the food production chain, including producers, elevators, importers and exporters, retailers, and any others who are looking for valuable information on global food supply-and-demand trends. There are limited resources available that cover food production issues in a consistent and comprehensive way. We saw an opportunity to fill this very important gap with our new blog," said Pete Anderson, CEO of FCStone and President and a Director of International Assets. "Additionally, the new website will enable our customers, partners, employees, investors and other stakeholders to quickly access important information and documentation about our new combined business and robust products and services."
International Assets and FCStone Group's merger of equals was completed on September 30, 2009, creating a powerful new combination that provides execution and advisory services in commodities, currencies, and international securities, and serves more than 10,000 commercial customers in more than 100 countries through a network of 19 offices around the world. The newly designed website reflects the combined entity, providing information about International Assets' and FCStone's risk-management services in specific commodities, as well as its comprehensive array of other products and services.
