Capital Raising

AKUR’s approach to capital raising spans equity, convertibles, debt and other project and asset finance. We undertake both private and public placements, design bespoke products, and facilitate the distribution of public market equity. Over the past five years our team has raised more than $4bn of capital for clients.

OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

Industrial/Strategic Investors
Leveraging our sector knowledge we find industrial and financial partners for public and private companies seeking expansion finance. Often accruing additional commercial benefits, this approach offers an alternative to conventional equity issuance.

Private Placement
Structured as a conventional placement for private companies, as a pre-IPO financing for companies intending to seek a listing or as a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction for existing listed public companies seeking access to a wider investor base. We target financial investors from private offices, specialist sector funds, certain long-only institutions, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds.

Initial Public Offerings
With our equity capital markets, corporate broking and institutional syndication backgrounds, we advise clients seeking an IPO. Acting in the capacity of Financial Advisor we have led many IPOs including the New Company of the Year 2007 at the PwC UK PLC Awards in March 2008. With detailed up-to-date knowledge of the performance of many securities distribution firms we can advise on their appropriateness and likely success in any particular IPO. We are helped in this regard by having established, and taken to IPO, companies that we ourselves have created.
