Equity Capital Markets

Azure’s equity capital markets team is responsible for arranging and executing IPOs, secondary market issues and pre-IPO development capital. We variously act in the role of distributor, underwriter and/or adviser.

In contrast to the “volume” approach adopted by originator houses, our focused ECM team adopts a strict “value” approach to capital raising. We do not operate an institutional or retail dealing desk, but distribute issues through the long standing relationships with have with our selected intermediaries and our clients. We measure the success of our ECM division by the performance of the issues with which we have been associated.

From 2009 to 2011, Azure raised $411 million in equity for listed and unlisted companies as underwriter, sub-under writer, manager or co-manager.
