Appraising
The bar for listing a new investment company remains incredibly high. Pre-requisites for success include a compelling and differentiated investment strategy, outstanding management credentials, proven track record and an attractive pool of acquisitions that can be acquired in the near term.
Elevating

In order to maximise the potential of these essential characteristics and meaningfully contribute to the success of an investment company IPO, a carefully planned and proactive PR campaign is required to target the full expanse of investor targets.

Having the experience of so many successful investment company launches, as well as our considerable sector expertise, provides Buchanan with the insight to advise on a broad aspect of the flotation process and support as a sounding board to our clients.

This advisory includes strategic counsel, careful crafting of the investment thesis, intermediary engagement and company announcements – not least the critical ‘intention to float’ declaration and IPO roadshow material.
