(Alliance News) - Mattioli Woods PLC on Friday said its subsidiary has bought Newable Ventures Ltd, a fund management company.

Mattioli Woods is a Leicester, England-based specialist wealth and asset management business.

Maven Capital Partners UK LLP, part of Mattioli Woods, said it has agreed to buy Newable Ventures. It will buy the company from Newable Capital Group Ltd, for an undisclosed amount.
