In Brief: Russian Broker Says Citicorp Has Bought In

Rinaco Plus, a Russian brokerage firm, said Citicorp has acquired a minority stake.

It declined to say how large the stake is, but Citicorp would get one board seat, according to a Rinaco statement.

Citicorp's move in will give Rinaco better access to financing sources, add investment banking and corporate finance expertise, and enhance its credibility with international and domestic clients and counterparts, the Russian company said.

A string of partnerships between successful Moscow-based brokerages and major foreign and domestic banks have been announced over the past year.
