New York and Colombo – Oct. 16, 2019 – Xtellus Capital Partners and Bartleet Religare Securities are pleased to announce that Xtellus Capital Partners will become the chaperoning partner for Bartleet Religare Securities across the United States. Through this partnership, Bartleet Religare, a leading financial institution in Sri Lanka, will be able to offer its equity research, trading, and investment banking capabilities to institutional investors in the United States.

Commenting on the announcement, Rashiyamany Muralidaran, Bartleet Religare's Managing Director, said that the group is looking forward to working with Xtellus to reach new institutional clients.
