Amaday — a subsidiary of Raison Asset Management, specializing in the IPO Market strategy. Trust management using algorithmic strategies is implemented on the client’s brokerage account with Exante.
IPO Market — stock purchase of a company that recently went public. Unlike IPO Book, when investors participate directly in the public listing. Since the beginning of 2021, the strategy was enlarged with a purchase of the most promising SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) — a corporation listed on a stock exchange to acquire a private company, thus making it public without going through the traditional IPO process.
Companies for the strategy are selected based on the fundamental analysis of each issuer. Our in-house analytics examine the company’s strategy, its sales volume, and profitability, the company’s multipliers in comparison with competitors and the industry as a whole, the industry itself, the demand from investors when forming the order book, etc.
Amaday has developed its own stock trading algorithm based on computer modeling and historical data on issuers who have gone public from the beginning of 2015 to the present day.
