We provide advice and assistance to public and private corporations, individuals and financial sponsors in equity fund raising activities.

This includes specific advice and recommendations with respect to equity market conditions, offer structures and timing, distribution and price discovery mechanisms, investment case/thesis, investor profiling and selection, as well as aftermarket support/strategies. We raise equity capital via:
IPO
- Also known as “going public”, an IPO is the first sale of shares by a company, inviting investors to subscribe to its shares.
- There are two methods of offering; Public Issue (offering of new shares) & Offer for Sale (offering of existing shares).
Rights Offering
- The issuance of rights to a company's existing shareholders to buy a proportional number of additional shares at a given price (usually at a discount) within a fixed period.
Placements
- The sale of shares of an already listed company to pre-identified investors as a way of raising capital/funds.
- Two types of placements:
- Primary – Sale of new shares by the company.
- Secondary – Sale of existing shares by a shareholder or the company (treasury shares).
Convertible Securities
- The issuance of convertible securities such as convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds and warrants to raise money.
- Companies that may be unable to tap the conventional sources of funding sometimes offer convertible securities as a way to raise money more quickly.
