YAC RESEARCH SERVICES SUMMARY
Equity Research Coverage
Young America Capital (YAC) offers a solution for smaller capitalization and less liquid securities that have found it increasingly difficult to get research coverage. Small-cap stocks fly under the radar when it comes to Wall Street research and is left without credible, independent means of communicating their merits to the investment community. YAC offers sponsored research coverage to help mitigate lower trading volumes, impaired liquidity, inefficient pricing/valuations, and a lack of institutional investor support for Small-Cap securities.
We provide companies with high-quality, non-conflicted research. YAC believes that the “company-sponsored” model may become the most viable means for many smaller public companies to enhance their visibility in the marketplace and to deliver a stronger and better-informed shareholder base.
Our solutions
YAC can provide comprehensive, objective, independent, research coverage of micro- to- small-cap stocks. With no conflict of interest from investment banking or proprietary trading, we offer investors unbiased investment opinions, that can attract institutional interest, expand a company’s shareholder base, improve trading liquidity and enhance visibility. We take a great deal of pride in our high-quality, transparent, rigorous, and disciplined research process to identify investment risks and opportunities. We empower our analysts to exercise diligence and thoroughness thereby providing a reasonable basis for investment recommendations.
Traditional research without conflicts
YAC research is identical in virtually every respect to the traditional research product with an Investment recommendation. We provide stock price targets and full earnings models through which institutional and other sophisticated investors can derive an investment decision. We start with an initiation report, and at least one report following each earnings release for the next four quarters and publish Notes whenever something about a company/industry is newsworthy.
Cost and distribution
Our research coverage cost is tailored to the needs of each client. We distribute our research to institutional clients in the U.S. and Canada which includes many leading managers of portfolios with billions of dollar assets under management in aggregate. These asset managers are generally underserved by brokerage firms targeting larger managers. We make the research available for you to use with your IR team and these reports will also be available to subscribers of Bloomberg, Factset, S&P Capital-IQ, and numerous other investment management research portals, as well as on our website. Our earnings estimates are picked up by First Call, Zacks, and other data aggregators.
