FPI Watch

“Welcome to our inaugural edition of FPI Watch – a publication for international companies outside of the United States (US) who are US-listed or otherwise contemplating access to the US securities markets, one of the largest sources of capital in the world.

Whether through an IPO, a strategic merger or acquisition, or raising equity or debt financing through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, a private or public offering in the US not only provides a company with an infusion of long-term capital to fuel growth, but can also enhance shareholder value by benefiting from the establishment of a currency to pursue acquisitions in the US or globally, help to enhance a company’s corporate reputation and profile, lower a company’s overall cost of capital through access to US debt and provide a foundation for establishing a share option reward program.

Navigating a US listing can be a complex and challenging process, with a plethora of information available on what to consider. However, no amount of artificial intelligence can substitute for the invaluable insights and lessons we've accumulated from decades of hands-on experience. We offer tailored strategies and solutions, right here in your local market, to help you expertly navigate the intricate regulations and unique accommodations available to foreign issuers in the US.

Our dedicated team of US Capital Markets specialists, based in the UK and Europe, live and breathe the intricacies of US listings, cross-border transactions and navigating SEC rules and regulation. They work side by side with companies like yours, guiding you through the entire process to achieve a successful US listing.”
