CAPITAL MARKETS ADVISORY

MFIM’s capital markets advisory practice benefits from over a decade of experience advising financial transactions in connection with China. Our track record includes some of the largest, earliest and most complex IPOs, SPAC and follow-on offerings connected with China, as well as many transactions raising incremental capital through equity, debt, hybrid, or other instruments.

We advise clients on the structure, size, timing and pricing of their capital raising, including initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, demergers, rights issues, placing, and open offers. We also help clients maneuver through the listing process on the world's exchanges, advising on the merits of each exchange, selecting underwriters, accessing key anchor institutions, and managing road shows.

Our expertise and international scope, coupled with our web of global relationships, affords our clients access to the capital markets most suited to their needs.
