The core function of the company is in the distribution of securities in equity capital markets transactions in both the private and listed markets. We serve to bridge the gap between high-calibre early stage growth companies who require capital to implement their business strategies and institutional funds seeking quality long-term investments.
Aetas sees itself very much as a means by which companies can both institutionalize and internationalise the share register early in the life of the company, allowing management to develop their business more efficiently by accessing an attractive alternative funding source to the volatility of the retail investor market. Where the company is at a more developed stage, we are able to provide access to deep pools of capital, allowing the company to take significant steps in terms of the transition from a ‘family and friends’ funded start up to a listed entity or trade sale.
For institutional investors, particularly those with a focus on a longer-term investment horizon we offer exposure to the Agriculture, Mining, Oil & Gas, TMT, Fintech and Healthcare sectors, Aetas brings opportunities which provide investors with access to growth companies which offer significant risk/reward potential.
