Market & Liquidity Services

Profile    

The SMH Market & Liquidity Services, a new effort by SMH Capital, has been designed to cater to the growing needs of small-cap companies seeking to expand their investor exposure and market depth and breadth.

 

Based on our deep understanding of the liquidity "black hole" most small cap companies experience today from Wall Street, SMH Capital realizes it is very difficult for a company to reap any of the benefits of being public on its own. 

 

Client-specific programs provide a smart combination of issuer-paid research, trading support and analysis and strategic investor communication for each specific situation for small-cap companies to execute their growth strategies, communicate their stories and encourage investment.

These coordinated efforts help create informational liquidity, shareholder liquidity, and an institutional following, thereby creating value for investors and the company. SMH Capital Market & Liquidity Services Group allows small-cap stocks with broader ownership, better valuations and more active trading.

Methodology

With the full support of SMH's 550-person firm, each Market & Liquidity Service's client has the ability to leverage our Wall Street relationships, which include those at the institutional, middle-market/hedge funds, and the very large retail/wealthy individual networks.

 

SMH Market & Liquidity Services Group fosters an active dialogue with each client’s shareholder base to understand the thought processes and key drivers for each investor.

 

We maintain an up-to-date institutional account list for each client, and provides holdings analysis of individual institutional holders every quarter.

 

SMH Capital has committed dedicated resources to becoming a functional market maker for Market & Liquidity Services clients, actively supporting trading of clients’ shares both in terms of flow business as well as block trades.

Historical Model National Recognition
 

The Markets Services group is emulating an already-successful model in the U.K. where the London Stock Exchange’s AIM (Alternative Investment Market) provides marketing and IR for their small- and mid-cap companies to help them grow.

 

 

 

 

SMH Capital’s work with small-cap and micro-cap energy companies is recognized nationally. It is one of the few elite firms selected by OTCQX to be an Investment Bank Designated Advisor for Disclosure (DAD). As a DAD, SMH Capital provides advice with respect to clients’ OTCQX listing requirements and public disclosure obligations.
