Investor Consultancy

Service Details

Suitable For: Arbitration Claimants - we focus solely on arbitration investing, and we will only speak about what we understand from an equity research perspective. If it’s a company we have conviction in, the management can explain the other aspects better than us. However, the crossover of arbitrations and public investors is rare, which is where we help.

General Description: New claimants lack the perspective of someone fully focused on investing, and knows what other investors screen for / what questions they will have. Being able to preempt and answer these questions beforehand mitigates the risk that the stock falls further through the cracks (as is to typical in these scenarios), both by attention and price, at which point it will often stay there until the case concludes. We are happy to write individually on any matters related strictly to investing in the arbitrations, and attend events, or merely give advice to management. This is similar to an IR department, except I’m not an employee (only pay me for the periods you need me), there’s less regulatory hassle, and I don’t possess insider information (to specify). We feel this model both works well, and most importantly, aligns incentives - we only cover companies we have already done due diligence on, and have faith in. We don’t think having our name on a poor piece of work bodes well for us.

Services Included:

Note: we can carry out this service for multiple claimants at once

  1. We have a seperate coverage service (details on another ‘services’ page), priced independently, which goes well with this service if trying to give investors the right, truthful, idea.

  2. Writings on a case-related matter, from an investors perspective, whenever requested (24 hour window to respond.)

  3. Participate in calls with individuals / group.

  4. Attend events in-person (happy to speak.)

  5. Open to doing full IR services + media

Your Incentive: How the Company Benefits

  1. Investor understanding - with the near zero coverage, you risk the stock falling through the cracks (as is so common) and being subject to initial/further speculative selling (hence why discounts in this area are so common, and we can so consistently do research)

  2. Having a full time investors perspective is invaluable - the market does not think in the same way as managers, and it takes an investor spending all their time in that world to know what one would look out for. That has been our sole concern for the last few years.

  3. You can still answer things in your name - we’re simply there to consult with when needed.

Our Incentives are Aligned:

We’re happy for our name to be specified in any advice given, and we’re happy to write individual sole-authorship pieces for you too. We don’t want our name, especially as we are building this operation, to have a reputation for poor work, or be associated with a company we don’t believe in.

We only request companies we have done due diligence on ourselves and would like our name associated with, so we fully understand the situation froman investment perspective.

We also take stock payment, but more on that later.

Regulatory Matters:

  • We make it clear it is simply our take, as an informal consultant towards the company - you cannot tell me what to say or give me insider information

  • We understand the legal counsel largely advise you on what to say, so we provide aspects on the investment side of it. We never say ‘X will happen by Y’ or anything of the sort

  • Full disclosures, including that nothing of what we say is an unnofficial disclosure by the company

Pricing Structure:

We recognise that cash can be dry in these situations in the absence of an operating business, and how much you will need me in X period somewhat unpredictable (more predictable around times of case developments - investors will be coming out of their hibernation then), so we don’t think charging a high fee is particularly genuine.

Our pricing is as follows…

  • Monthly = £1,000 (monthly commitment, and can restart whenver timely / responsible)

  • Yearly = £10,000 (two installements every 6 months, full year commitment)

  • If you wish us to come to an event that requires us to travel, reasonable expenses (flight / hotel) must be reimbursed, or initially booked for myself by the company. However, there is no attending fee.

If you wish to negotiate on any aspect of this service / fees, please email us privately.
