We provide guidance to our clients in assignments related to acquisitions, sales and divestitures, mergers, joint ventures, buyouts and fairness opinions. Our professionals have extensive transaction and industry expertise, obtained both at Singular and also at premier investment banking firms.

Our knowledge of the Brazilian market and our network of corporate relationships built over the past years provide us differentiated skills when advising transactions of this nature.

Our senior level talent is dedicated to completing each transaction by supplying creative solutions, technical expertise and strong negotiating skills, customizing the most appropriate solution for each client.

Capital Markets Advisory

Singular does not underwrite or trade public equity or debt. This fact reassures our independence to advise our clients in capital raising transactions with public capital markets. Singular has no buy-side conflicts or ties to any particular product, market or institution.

Singular supports its clients to raise equity and debt capital at all phases of the transaction. We work with local and international financial investors, such as hedge funds, asset managers, pension funds and financial sponsors to raise necessary capital to meet our clients’ requirements.

We have extensive experience in advising companies in their Initial Public Offering (IPO). Taking a company public is a complicated and time-consuming process that presents many challenges and hurdles, such as dealing with underwriters and investors, building the investment case, modeling a detailed business plan, preparing marketing materials, selling a compelling story to investors and maximizing pricing. These issues must be addressed to achieve a successful offering, thus requiring the involvement of an experienced advisor. As a tested and independent financial advisor in this area, Singular has the breadth and depth of expertise to guide privately-owned companies throughout this process.

In the capital markets, Singular plays an important role to clients including the following services:

  • Analyzing, recommending and developing appropriate financing structures;
  • Identifying, selecting and negotiating with potential underwriters;
  • Advising on transaction specifics such as offering size and structure, pricing, timing and targeted investors; and
  • Supporting the preparation of prospectus and other marketing materials; and advising and supporting on all road show and placement efforts.
