Merchant Banking

As a merchant bank we recognize our role in the economy of the country. We enable issuers to raise capital and investors to place capital, with the objective of maintaining lowest cost of capital possible during the issue of capital and highest rate of return while investing. Designing financial instruments that create a balance within these two lateral ends of the economy, is what we strive for.

1. Capital Raising

   We support our clients in the raising of capital to fulfill short/long term financing needs through the management of the capital raising process and providing a hedging mechanism for mitigating the risks associated.
   

2. Securities Issue Management

   We advise and manage the public issue of securities, by advising on matters such as the timing, size and price of the issue. We act as manager to the issue and help in accepting applications and allotment of securities.

   With the ultimate objective of raising finance through issue of shares, debentures, and relevant securities, we help in starting a new business/project, assist in the modernization or expansion of a business and help bring ideas to life by ensuring capital requirements are fulfilled.
