IssuWorks is the trusted advisor. Our priority is to broaden and improve the scope of investor interest for both public and private companies. Whether you are already a publicly traded company or are “Testing the Waters” in preparation to go public, IssuWorks can be value-added to your organization. IssuWorks is:

 

The first and only investor-neutral firm.

 

Unlike traditional investment banks, IssuWorks does not earn institutional commissions for its services. Instead of focusing on only the 60 institutions that generate upwards of 90% of Wall Street’s commissions, our business model is to find the “best fit” institutional investors out of more than 3,500 institutions and 30,000 funds. Our model is not one size fits all – IssuWorks reaches out only to those investors that, based on our analysis, represent a proper long-term fit for your company.

 

IssuWorks supports issuers by:

• Broadening distribution

• Reducing equity offering execution risk

• Reducing cost of capital

• Minimizing dilution

• Respecting equity research relationships

 

IssuWorks supports managements and investment banks by:

• Avoiding short-sellers

• Avoiding short-term investors

• Avoiding activist investors

• Achieving optimum results

 

The only complementary partner to other investment banks.

 

As opposed to bringing another equity research opinion to the crowded table and contacting the same institutional investors, IssuWorks deploys people and technology to identify, evaluate and reach the vast pool of suitable investors that are often overlooked in the traditional equity issuance marketing process. We work with or “for” the lead investment bank(s) to systemize the process of homing in on a broader base of the most suitable investor meetings. For most Wall Street firms, to achieve this end requires cold-calls which are productivity killers for traditional sales enterprises, and thus these investors are typically never contacted.

 

A leap forward for both the corporate issuer and the book running investment bank.

 

• The book runner’s sales force will experience productivity gains

• The syndicate manager will have better feedback leading to better allocations, risk management, deal delivery and aftermarket support

• Your investment banker will have a happier more successful client (you)
