Why involve individual investors in an offer?

Best-in-class governance

Governments and regulators are actively calling out for the inclusion of individuals in capital markets. Fairness is core to good governance.

Community empowerment

Giving your employees, customers, shareholders and the public the same opportunities as your institutional investors builds loyalty and brand preference.

Improve deal outcomes

Retail investors represent incremental capital that can add competitive tension to an institutionally-led order book, diversify your share register and enhance aftermarket liquidity.
