mergermarket’s and
dealReporter’s newly launched ECM platform to provide actionable live news and
origination content
Hong Kong
– Tuesday, 29 March 2012- mergermarket and dealReporter are excited to announce a new service
offering that provides unparalleled coverage of Asia Pacific equity capital
markets.
The
offering covers an extensive range of live IPOs, follow-on offerings, block
trades, convertible bonds and other ECM deals in markets across the region,
producing up-to-the minute coverage of these highly time-sensitive transactions.
“We
provide a close-up, real-time look from all sides of live bookbuilds and capture the dynamic tension between buyer and seller,”
says Tim LeeMaster, Asia Pacfic ECM editor.
The product also
offers ECM professionals including institutional investors, bankers and other
advisors the first word on upcoming deals in the region and the companies and
entrepreneurs behind them,
leveraging a pool of over 40 news reporters located in cities across the Asia
Pacific region who speak to key corporate decision-makers about their funding
plans.
The
dedicated ECM platform is a welcome addition to the Mergermarket Group’s
existing suite of products, known for providing actionable forward-looking
intelligence and proprietary breaking news to advisory and institutional
investor subscribers.
Our
journalists also rely on their unrivalled network of sources to take a look at
what’s happening behind the ECM league tables, offering news and analysis on
transaction structures and industry developments.
In
addition to the proprietary intelligence, a data service highlights the pipeline
of upcoming ECM issues in the region with a timeframe of 18 months and includes
a searchable historical database containing deals stretching back to 2006, as
well as examining monthly and quarterly issuance trends. The team also
translates and aggregate 3,000 global sources, with key ECM intelligence
summarised in user-friendly daily and weekly wraps.
“What
makes the product stand apart is that it’s not only a rare independent voice in
the heat of the deal that investors can rely on, it’s also an origination tool
for advisors by detailing companies’ strategic intentions,” says Tom Cane,
dealReporter’s Asia Pacific editor. “In short, it offers users opportunities in
a highly volatile market where opportunities come and go quickly.
