Senior advisors to CEOs and Boards to achieve defined strategic outcomes.

This can include serving as the trusted guide for an IPO, De-SPAC transaction, or cross-border US listing; repositioning an international business for American investors; creating a pathway to enhanced liquidity and capital access; establishing a CEO as the acknowledged thought leader in their industry; or building the IR infrastructure of a newly public company.

Our Promise to Our Clients

  • You will always work directly with senior practitioners and never have important work traded down to associates who are “learning on the job.”

  • We will only promise what we believe we have a high probability of achieving. To the extent possible, we will work towards defined metrics and make clear whether extrinsic events can impact expected outcomes.

  • We will tell you the hard truths that others are afraid to speak, but that your investors, customers, and stakeholders already understand.

  • If the relationship is not working, we will release you, provided the account is current. Life is too short to bind people who are not in synch with contracts.

Why International Issuers Choose AUM Advisors

  • Native language senior advisors. Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay capability at the senior level - former bankers and Wall Street analysts, not translated by junior staff.

  • 25 years of cross-border listings experience. AUM principals have advised on over 100 IPOs, SPAC IPOs, and de-SPACs.

  • Full lifecycle versus transaction focus. We stay with companies from the pre-listing strategy through listing day, and scale capital markets, IR, and PR support as they grow.

  • New York-based, globally networked. We are in the same time zone as your underwriters, your auditors, and your investors — and on the ground in Tokyo or Hong Kong when you need us there.

We choose not to work with companies we believe to have a detrimental social or environmental impact. We expect senior management to behave ethically, report accurately, and act as stewards of their corporate brands and reputations.

We are not inexpensive, but we provide value for the money. If you don’t agree, let’s part as friends.
