Merriman Capital Announces $100 Million in Assets in Partnership with Saxon Securities

(Thomson Reuters ONE via COMTEX) -- SAN FRANCISCO - March 10, 2014 - Merriman Capital, Inc. ("Merriman"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merriman Holdings, Inc. (otcqx:MERR), announced it has processed over $100 million in assets on behalf of Saxon Securities' SMA brokered CD portfolio product.

Ned Lucia, CEO of Saxon Securities stated, "The rapid growth of assets under management since announcing our partnership on October 8, 2013, stems primarily from Merriman selling test accounts and then clients upsizing those accounts based on results."

"In this low interest rate environment, corporations and high net worth individuals are searching for higher yields," added Mike Capobianco, Head of Merriman Wealth Advisors. "The Saxon brokered CD portfolio allows for competitive yields in a liquid format coupled with FDIC backing. We continue to see strong demand for the offering."

Jon Merriman, CEO of Merriman Holdings, commented, "The Saxon product is a differentiated solution for both our advisory and institutional clients, and further information on the product can now be accessed via our Digital Capital Network ("DCN"). It offers protection, transparency and return with a product usually accessed only by larger corporations. We look forward to continued rapid growth in assets - we believe the market opportunity is potentially significant."
