MLV & Co provides comprehensive investment banking services to our clients in our focus sectors. We take particular pride in providing both differentiated and creative advisory and capital markets solutions.

Industry Sectors

Advisory

MLV & Co’s professionals offer a unique approach to supporting a company’s growth and profitability. We provide a variety of advisory services to our clients including mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, strategic guidance, fairness opinions/valuation, royalty monetization, project finance and restructuring.

Capital Markets

We are capital markets experts. Our team is rigorously focused on maximizing the efficiency at which companies are able to tap the capital markets. The tools we offer companies are designed to maximize proceeds to the company while preserving existing shareholder value.

  • At-the-Market Offerings 
     

    MLV is the market leader in At-the-Market (“ATM”) offerings. ATM is a shelf based offering which enables a public company to sell registered shares at the then prevailing market price, at the time and in amounts of its choosing. The price and volume of sales in an ATM are solely determined by the issuer. ATM is the most efficient method for a public company to raise capital as it maximizes proceeds and minimizes dilution for an issuer.

  • Debt Offerings 
     

    MLV is active in the origination and execution of a variety of fixed income products, including baby bonds, high yield bonds, and investment corporates, convertible notes, and hybrid instruments. Our model is predicated on providing the best possible pricing for the issuer.

  • Initial Public Offerings 
     

    MLV has led or managed over 30 initial offerings of common stock, preferred stock, and bonds.

  • Preferred & Baby Bond Offerings 
     

    MLV is a market leader in providing long dated or perpetual capital to issuers seeking to expand their capital base without issuing common equity or short- or medium-term notes.

  • Secondary Offerings 
     

    MLV is a regular participant in traditional follow-on as well as overnight stock and bond offerings that re-open existing issues. We leverage our distribution network to provide the most favorable terms to the issuer, minimize discounts, and maximize proceeds per share.

At MLV & Co we believe that there is substantial hidden value in emerging and growing companies in a variety of industry sectors. Market disruptive discovery and innovation often occurs in small to mid-size companies that are either misunderstood or underrepresented. MLV is focused on uncovering these companies and their stories before the rest of the market.
