Donald Trump has been quoted as
saying, “You’re generally better off sticking with what you know.” While Mr.
Trump has experienced the good, bad and ugly side of investing, one cannot deny
he has a lot of agreeing company when it comes to his advice. Emerging
small-cap stock companies indeed are a part of this group – focused on what
they do best while surrounding the enterprise with trusted advisors known to be
proven experts in their crafts as well.
Perhaps this is why Stonegate
Capital Partners, an investment banking and corporate advisory firm, has
thrived among small-cap stock companies for more than four decades. Stonegate,
rooted and focused on what it does best, bridges the divide between public
companies and institutional investors, either through private placements,
coordinating block trades, or through open market transactions.
From the day Stonegate opened its
doors, its mission has been to find innovative, undervalued public companies
for its network of leading institutional investors who seek high quality
opportunities. Stonegate offers a wide variety of services including equity
research, sales and trading, investment banking and capital markets advisory
services.
The company’s ambitious
institutional outreach effort is a major building block set within the
foundation of the firm, and is noted for being vital to its success. This,
combined with its team’s extensive institutional relationships and experience
with complex capital market issues, creates an incomparable platform for
companies looking to grow their institutional shareholder base and ultimately
realize optimal valuation in their stock.
Largely responsible for the
company’s success in meeting customer needs is a sales team that maintains
constant communication with a large market of institutional investors. By
leveraging a proprietary database of institutional investors, the group employs
an effective tool that gives Stonegate unmatched insight on how the fund
managers make buying decisions. Subsequently, the company can screen for
various investment criteria such as sector preferences, minimum market cap and
liquidity requirements. The result is a sales team that can quickly identify
the most appropriate buyers for each company it represents. And with time being
the precious commodity that it is, management benefits by meeting exclusively
with qualified and vetted institutions.
Stonegate’s experience with small
cap institutions, in concert with dedicated and focused sales professionals, is
a precious differentiator in a wide, cluttered field of investment banking
firms. The company’s team oriented approach is closely aligned with each
client. Leading by example is co-owner and company CEO Scott Griffith who
joined Stonegate in 1992. Prior to joining Stonegate, Mr. Griffith was a
Vice-President at Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette from 1980 to 1988 and a
Vice-President at Smith Barney from 1988 to 1992. Mr. Griffith received his Bachelor
of Science in Marketing from Florida State University in 1979.
