Initial Public Offerings

FCR has assisted with more than 40 IPOs and other capital raisings over the past ten years.

We are skilled at raising a company’s profile in anticipation of a float, and at building demand for its shares during the offer period. We also design, produce and help draft prospectuses which communicate the company’s strengths, growth strategies and investment attractions.

Working closely with our client, its corporate advisers and underwriters, we plan and manage an appropriate communication strategy and activity program to achieve the offer objectives.

We also build broad awareness of our client and a positive corporate reputation among investors, stockbrokers and media, to help create ongoing demand for shares in the secondary market.

Our experience ranges from ‘retail’ floats, requiring a high media profile, to smaller issues, institutional placements and rights issues. We develop communication and marketing strategies, manage potentially damaging issues, arrange analyst and media presentations, maximise media coverage, create and manage advertising campaigns, and operate investor hotlines. Prospectuses are produced in-house to ASIC lodgement stage, guaranteeing confidentiality.

Our expertise has been recognised with four top national awards for investor/financial communication in the past nine years.
