Primary Capital Market

Practice Area

Primary Capital Market

Strattners maintains a regulated execution and underwriting framework to support its proprietary participation in public capital markets.
This framework exists exclusively to facilitate balance-sheet deployment in primary and secondary market transactions aligned with the group’s long-term investment strategies.

Market Participation

The Primary Market Execution & Principal Underwriting Framework enables Strattners to:

  • Participate directly in primary issuances and related public market transactions

  • Underwrite equity or debt instruments for proprietary investment purposes

  • Execute secondary market transactions in support of underwritten or strategic positions

  • Maintain appropriate regulatory standing when engaging in public markets

This framework supports internal execution only and does not constitute a brokerage, advisory, or underwriting service offering.

Principal Capital Deployment

Where strategically appropriate, Strattners may participate in primary offerings as an underwriting principal, committing its own capital and assuming associated market and holding risk.

Such participation:

  • Is conducted exclusively for the account of Strattners or its affiliated investment vehicles

  • Does not involve issuer mandates, placement agreements, or distribution activities for third parties

  • Is undertaken in alignment with long-term ownership and capital preservation objectives

Market Execution

The framework also supports proprietary market execution related to:

  • Positions acquired through underwriting participation

  • Strategic public market investments

  • Portfolio management of listed securities held on the group’s balance sheet

Execution activity is limited to internal portfolio and risk management needs and does not involve client order flow or external execution services.

Regulatory Framework & Governance

Strattners maintains internal governance frameworks aligned with internationally recognised securities regulations applicable to proprietary participation in public markets. These frameworks support compliant engagement in listed securities across relevant jurisdictions and are maintained solely for internal and structural purposes.

Strattners’ proprietary market participation is conducted within a defined regulatory and governance framework. Where applicable, internal policies and controls are aligned with key U.S. securities regulations commonly referenced in public market transactions, including:

  • Regulation M
    Internal controls are designed to mitigate risks associated with market manipulation in connection with offerings and related secondary market activity undertaken for proprietary purposes.

  • Rule 10b-5
    Governance standards are maintained to ensure accuracy and integrity in connection with securities transactions and related disclosures.

  • Section 17(b) of the Securities Act
    Policies are in place to prevent misleading promotional conduct and to ensure appropriate disclosure standards in relation to proprietary market activity.

  • Regulation S
    Offshore transactions, where applicable, are structured in accordance with established Regulation S principles governing non-U.S. offerings and transactions.

These standards are referenced for governance purposes only and do not imply the provision of sales, trading, advisory, or promotional services to third parties.
