INVESTOR RELATIONS

As advisors on investor relations, we help clients:

• Achieve and sustain the richest warranted valuation that reflects the company’s operating and competitive strengths, and particularly the value of intangible assets.
  
• Minimize asymmetries between management’s vision -- which drives the company’s intrinsic value -- and market perceptions, which determine the company’s market value. In this way, we foster "full and fair" valuation.
  
• Build an understanding of the client’s business story among key market constituencies, including institutional investors, sell-side research analysts, business/financial media, industry analysts
  
• Attract institutional investors who share an affinity for the company’s investment thesis.
  
• Forecast the reactions of capital markets, media and other audiences to major initiatives – M&A announcements, financing transactions, restructurings, etc.
  
• Minimize volatility in the company’s valuation. Enhance liquidity of the client’s floating shares.
  
• Minimize cost of capital and facilitate the capital formation process.
  
• Establish and sustain ample analyst coverage/sponsorship
