“This marks the first acquisition for Internet Securities and represents a significant strategic step forward for the organization and value of service provided,” said Gary Mueller, president and CEO of Internet Securities. “We are placing greater emphasis on providing our clients proprietary and value-added content.”
As the exclusive provider to Internet Securities, KNS brings value-added content and more comprehensive coverage within the Bulgarian and Romanian regions. As of March 2, KNS data has been re-branded with the new name Intellinews and made available to all subscribers of the ISI Emerging Markets service.

“The depth of our understanding of local markets combined with the technical skills and distribution channels of Internet Securities will be very much to the benefit of clients operating in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Georgi Kadiev, president of Kadiev News Service.
