They have said they are awaiting regulatory sign off & obviously still are, it's a complex process with many individuals involved. Meanwhile the company is earning dollar out of the deal, also the new fund is earning as well as the black oak fund so the coffers are filling. As for the current climate, absolute shambles, far better to wait for stability in the market. Meanwhile the wheels are turning generating income.
"the economics of the deal are based on a July 2022 sign off"
Great news, looks like alpha are hitting the road running. I don't think the market realises how big a deal this is, the doubling (give or take a few £) of aum will bring in large amounts of ££ in fees progressing the company to break even or profit. Lots of talk about a buy out once they accelerate to their stated £2b target which they are confident is ahead of schedule. The company is talking about future acquisitions in the pipeline which will undoubtedly bring in further revenue & all of this is non correlated assets. There was a large seller this week which the seller did appologise for on here saying he/she needed the cash for other reasons....each to their own. All in all I believe this company has a bright future but not for long..........buyout will happen at some stage in their journey, meanwhile we wait for news of the regulatory sign off, I have had an email confirming that both parties are working hard to complete but the regulator goes at it's own pace. There is money......a great deal of money..... to be made here, after all that's what we are all here for, I personally have topped up this week & will continue to do so, buying the dips.
We are looking forward to shortly integrating the Guernsey acquisition previously announced on 24th March therefore substantially increasing our AUM and revenue; the roll out of our innovative and class leading interval fund; and the further strengthening of our Board and leadership team.
Good volume for the day, lot's more to come. We should start up on Monday due to the u/t trade at cob, some pretty hefty buys this afternoon after some hefty sells this morning (for balance) hopefully the sign off is not too far away but this is out of the companies hands & down to the regulators, alpha has fulfilled their obligations. The last couple of rns's has given plenty of clues as to the direction the company is headed in, ie; future aquisistions that are in the pipeline. The subject of a placement has been banded about by a couple of people, once again the company has stated that there will be no placement UNLESS it is for strategic acquisition and growth purposes.....which means unless I am mistaken adding value to the company. Quite happy in the direction the company is moving, improved comms is a big plus & hopefully there will be an interview about the new fund (which is already earning fee's) There will always be negative comments, each to their own, 3p is a tough one to crack, once the sign off has happened hopefully 3p will be long gone. Great post by Bobby earlier.
The net asset value, which is effectively the AUM that Alpha's fee will be based upon, is currently circa $7.2m - this is expected to significantly grow over the coming months and years as marketing commences.
Already collecting fees of over 100k usd, this will increase daily as investors seek non correlated assets. Big move up the ladder.
Makes sense MG, I have been wondering where all these shares were coming from if they were short on stock. I've done a couple of dummy buys through Halifax & could easily buy up to 2m over the last two days at any time and not pay a premium. Given the buy's v sells over the last week it just doesn't add up, take today for example, how are we down on the volume of buys v sells? Anyone?
Very good read MG, agree with your thoughts. This company has stated that they are the fastest growing asset management company, that's a very bold statement to put out, looking forward to the next few months. Trawling back through the recent rns's there are references to further acquisitions. Obviously these guys are at the top of their game & with the appointment of Chad they are indeed moving along swiftly, also they are looking to strengthen the bod with further appointments.
