LONDON, United Kingdom, May 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Argentum 47, Inc. (www.arg47.com) (OTC: ARGQ) and its fully-owned foreign subsidiaries, a specialist in both Retail and Corporate Financial Services and Corporate Consultancy, with offices located the United Kingdom, today would like to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited, has recently increased its Funds under Administration by 4,300,000 GBP (approximately $5,450,000 at today’s exchange rate).
On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited (www.ctifa.com), an Independent Financial Advisory firm that administrated circa $39,000,000. The increase in Funds under Administration announced today represents an uplift of nearly 14% which is a major milestone in Management’s plans to endeavor to organically double Cheshire Trafford’s Funds under Administration before the end of the year 2019.
The Company would also like to announce that yesterday, Cheshire Trafford retained the services of a new and extremely experienced Independent Financial Advisor (IFA), Mr. Declan Iain Harrington (https://register.fca.org.uk/ShPo_individualdetailsPage?id=003b000000LUf2eAAD). This new advisor was retained mainly to advise and service the influx of pension transfers that are now coming from the “Pension Admin Team” (http://www.pensionadminteam.co.uk/), a company that recently executed a Introducer Appointed Rep (IAR) agreement with Cheshire Trafford. Since entering into the agreement, the “Pension Admin Team” has already provided the Company with approximately $500,000 of pension transfer business to be serviced and this figure is now growing daily.
The Company would like to announce that it is in the process of implementing a new 3% plus 1% model for all new business that Cheshire Trafford writes. The 3% representing the initial financial advisory fees and the 1% representing the ongoing trail commissions to be received from the new Funds under Administration.
Finally, the Company is also in the process of slowly moving the recurring / trail commissions on the now approximately $44,450,000 of Funds under Administration to the 1% model as it is very much an industry standard.
Mr. Nick Tuke, Managing Director of Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited, said: “Mr. Harrington represents a perfect combination of experience, ambition and professionalism. We are extremely happy that he has decided to join the Cheshire Trafford team. With regards to the massive uplift of new Funds under Administration, I can only say that we are all ecstatic as this is a big stepping stone, and in the right direction, for the Company. We are slowly but surely molding a good template to be able to use it for the organic growth of future acquisitions.”
