MLV & Co Presents at EBD Group AG's Biotech showcase 2013, Jan-07-2013 08:00 AM. Venue: Parc 55 Wyndham Union Square Hotel, San Francisco, California, United States. Speakers: George B. Zavoico, Managing Director of Equity Research.

MLV & Co. announced that it established a new office in Houston focused on, among other things, expanding the firm's product offerings in oil, gas, and related industries. MLV has hired three seasoned energy industry professionals - one research analyst and two institutional sales people - to form the core of what the firm expects will be an 8 to 12 person office in the near term. The firm's objective in establishing the Houston office is to expand on the already substantial relationships that MLV has in the sector and to further develop relationships throughout all aspects of the energy industry. William C. Conroy, CFA, an equity research analyst in Oilfield Services, has been selected to head the office. Bill has provided institutional research coverage for more than 20 years.

MLV & Co and its parent MLV & Co. Financial seek acquisitions. The companies "have already identified and plan to execute several additional near-term acquisition opportunities that would rapidly and substantially expand the Westport platform and its assets under management," MLV said.
