MOSCOW, Feb 16 (Reuters) - U.S.-listed Freedom Holding Corp , a Kazakhstan-based financial services firm focused on East Europe and Central Asia, on Thursday said it was acquiring U.S. investment bank Maxim Group to expand its geographic reach.

The $400 million deal will be financed with cash and shares and will also include Maxim subsidiary Maxim Financial Advisors, Freedom Holding said.

Freedom Holding separated its Russian arm from the main business last year as political tensions around the Ukraine conflict and related restrictions took their toll.
