The tie up between NSX (ASX:NSX) and iSignthis (ASX:ISX) has been one of the peculiar stories on the ASX in recent months.

The latter company, listed on the ASX but suspended for several months and at loggerheads with the bourse, last month bought a stake in the NSX seeking to develop a delivery versus payment (DvP) platform.

Last week Probanx, bought a 13 per cent stake in Australia’s secondary market. Probanx is a banking software company that was acquired by iSignthis back in September 2018 but continues to operate independently.

Among fund managers, Challenger bought just over 5 per cent of dairy company Clover Corp (ASX:CLV) and financial advisory Australian Financial Group (ASX:AFG).

In the same week billionaire investor Alex Waislitz said he was continuing to look long-term, his company topped up its holdings in organic dried fruit maker Murray River Organics (ASX:MRG) to over 40 per cent as part of a $25m rescue package.

The deal took place last month but the deal was only implemented last Thursday, and the stock — having been suspended for several weeks while this was undertaken — fell 76 per cent accordingly.

Also buying into Murray River Organics was Regal Funds Management, which now owns 19.78 per cent. It also bought more of fast food franchisee Retail Food Group (ASX:RFG).

Perennial Value Management increased its holdings in Seattle-headquartered employee wellness company Limeade (ASX:LME) and broadcast advertising platform Global Traffic Network (ASX:GTN).
