Global Investment Financial Group has entered into an agreement with Northern Financial Corp. to form an alliance to provide online trading to Global’s clients and members.

Through this alliance, Global’s clients and members will have direct access to online trading through eNorthern, Northern’s online brokerage and financial information portal. The site offers Canadian investors a platform for trading North American stocks, options and mutual funds in addition to providing access to online public offerings. The eNorthern Web site provides extensive market information as well as research and analysis tools from leading information providers.

“The company continues to expand the range of products and online services offered to its membership-based clientele,” said Leo Chamberland, president and CEO of Global. “This agreement provides Investment.com with another key component of its transaction services group module. Most importantly, Investment.com is becoming a place where online investment-related transactions can occur — making Investment.com a virtual marketplace for the investing public and the financial services industry.”

“This alliance provides further opportunity for us to build the eNorthern client base for online trading and online public offerings, which is a key strategic priority,” stated Vic Alboini, president and CEO of Northern. “We believe that through partnerships with providers such as GIG, eNorthern will continue to strengthen its position as a new and innovative provider of online trading services.”
