Services

Capital Markets

We specialise in providing access to capital and corporate broking solutions for small and medium sized public and private companies operating in the energy sector, leveraging our highly rated equity research capabilities and extensive relationships with institutional investors and family offices. 

Our corporate broking services ensure that the investment case for each of our corporate clients is clearly understood and appreciated by current and prospective shareholders.

Regular, targeted roadshows provide key executives with direct access to leaders in the investment community and detailed, measured feedback from roadshows is provided which is vital in allowing the investment case to be honed and refined.

We seek to create long term partnerships with our corporate clients to maximise their access to our institutional clients, who encompass specialist resources and special situations investors, private equity and family offices and a core network of smaller company investors in the UK, Europe and North America. 

The foundation of our corporate broking model is our focus on providing independent, unconflicted advice to our corporate clients.  We receive no fees or commission from the buyside, thus ensuring full alignment with our clients.

Our equity capital markets activities are underpinned by our highly respected research product.

Equity Research

At Auctus, we cover a diverse and expanding group of energy companies, listed on many of the world’s major stock exchanges and with assets spread across the globe.  

Within our coverage universe, there are numerous companies that are not fully understood by the investment community as the traditional sell-side equity research model, which has focused on the small proportion of large commission-paying investors, has led to a paucity of information on these companies.  

Our free-to-access equity research, which is renowned for its fundamental approach, independent outlook and thoughtful analysis, is able to reach the widest possible investment community.

Our research coverage is invariably initiated through the publication of a highly detailed note, comprising an assessment of the value of each of the company’s key assets and projects as well as the associated risks concerning the achievement of those values.  

Thereafter, coverage is maintained on an ongoing, regular basis in response to all material developments at the company.

Our research is MiFID II compliant and made available, for free, simultaneously to the investor community.  As well as being available on the dedicated portal on this website, our research is distributed directly to our extensive investor list and is available on all the major research aggregation platforms including Bloomberg, FactSet and S&P Capital IQ.  

Our ongoing corporate research coverage is supplemented by a weekly update and commentary on the energy sector, Auctus on Friday.
