Capabilities
Capital Markets Consulting
Before your company can engage with investors, you need the capital market intelligence to know who they are. AST helps clients identify and understand their stakeholders as a way to build relationships and generate support for future initiatives.
Regulatory Compliance Certification
AST enables companies to access required regulatory tax information, making a highly challenging process much easier. By drilling down to determine shareholder identities, we take the critical step in ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Credit Markets Intelligence
By identifying its bondholders, a company is better positioned for lower borrowing costs and monitoring secondary market activity. Through identification reports and outreach programs, we provide clients with vital information for potential buybacks, exchanges, and debt restructurings.
