Orca Strategy

Corporate Finance and Investor Relations

Global economic misfortunes centered in Europe and high profile scandals notwithstanding, forward looking investors on both sides of the Pacific still are investing in listed companies with Chinese exposure. Contrarian investors see the parallel with the dotcom experience, where expansion and collapse are necessary elements of a sector's ultimate growth.

China's economy will continue to grow. In their December 31, 2011 edition, The Economist analyzed 21 economic indicators and found that China had surpassed the United States on over half, with the others in sight, even as China's growth rate slows. Overall, standards of corporate governance, transparency and reporting are improving for China sector companies and lessons have been learned, by investors, auditors, underwriters and regulators.

Working with company's existing investor relations and corporate finance personnel, Orca provides companies with access to Chinese offshore investors and institutional investors that follow Chinese companies.

China's Offshore Investors

Individuals that have enjoyed the creation of wealth in China are actively seeking offshore investments, as confirmed by a 2011 survey commissioned by the Bank of China. Through its network within China, Orca locates investors, especially for resource companies with a 43-101 report on their property listed on the TSX or TSX.V.

Institutional Investors in the Chinese Sector

The decline in investor sentiment following recent scandals creates opportunity, as many companies with operations within China have seen their market capitalizations tumble. Working with a company's existing investor relations personnel and its own extensive network of institutional investors, Orca can help to attract coverage and investment.
