"Access 1 Financial offers undervalued companies a truly unique opportunity. Its highly respected team of Wall Street analysts work in concert with retail and institutional sales professionals to position your company within an increasingly competitive investment environment. It has been my experience that typical public relations firms do not have the kind of research or market credibility to attract serious, long-term investor following. By combining top-notch research with a highly effective distribution system, Access 1 Financial offers the first comprehensive solution for positioning small companies within the public markets."

Former Chairman NASD & Board of Governors
NYSE Despite the fact that the market has beat all expectations in the past 10 years, companies within the micro-cap group are finding it increasingly difficult to position themselves within the mind-boggling array of investor requirements and expectations. As mergers and acquisitions within the securities industry continue at a rapid pace, and as compensation mechanisms and regulations provide incentives to trade in the larger, more liquid securities, small and micro-cap companies will find it increasingly difficult to achieve premium or even fair market value. Competing for investor mind share - especially for companies with limited liquidity or a disparaging track record is no mean feat. Access 1 Financial was formed as a means of providing these companies with sophisticated access to an important array o financial, research, and marketing network resources traditionally available only to larger, well-positioned companies.
THE MARKET PARADOX
As the market continues to achieve new highs, investors are beginning to re-think their overall investment strategy. Even with the tremendous gains in blue chip and over-the-counter issues, smaller capitalized companies have lagged behind their larger counterparts. We at Access 1 Financial believe that over the next several years increasingly sophisticated investors seeking superior returns will become more active in smaller cap issues (under $100 million) as long as the underlying fundamentals support a higher probability of substantial return. However, these companies have significant liquidity issues and greater inherent risk and uncertainty. Unless a company is expertly positioned within the market, its fundamental value and competitive advantages will more than likely continue to be ignored by major institutional and retail buyers.
ACCESS 1 to the Markets
Hundreds of new companies are added to the markets each year. With thousands of small-cap companies from which to choose, it's no wonder that a typical fund manager never even sees many of the most compelling stories. Portfolio managers typically receive a press kit or an invitation to lunch from an investor relations firm. It usually ends up in the waste basket. Why? The answer is simple. Investor relations and promotional firms do not have the capability to represent sophisticated stories to institutional managers; and typically lack credibility with influential market makers and high net worth individuals. Although many of these firms advertise extensive databases and contacts, the simple fact is, they have no in-house research, or "first call" capabilities. In reality, their direct marketing attempts at accessing fund managers and brokers by phone or with mail-outs have minimum or short-term impact - missing the real objective of serious, long-term investor following. |
