About us

Quadro investment company is a group of professionals which has accumulated many years of experience in its operations on the second- and third-tier equity market. Generally speaking, our investments focus on undervalued private small-cap (unlisted) companies. The stake we are interested in such companies varies from 1 to 30%.

Throughout the investment process, we consistently strive to take actions aimed at raising the capitalization of the companies slated for acquisition. This could involve tracking significant information on a specific company and the sector where it operates with more detailed information on the company subsequently provided to all market players, or working in tandem with the company’s management (strategic consulting and business planning). After the share is listed we raise liquidity via bid/ask support (market making).

In 2008, Tusk Quadro Securities arose as a result of a merger between Quadro and British TUSK CAPITAL, thus offering private European investors the chance to buy into the securities of attractive Russian companies.

Investment strategy

The stakes in the companies we are interested in ranges from 1 to 30%.

In the investment process, we always carry out a subsequent range of actions designed to boost the market cap of acquired companies:

Monitoring key information on companies and their sectors, with more detailed specific company data subsequently provided to all market players.
Working in tandem with management (strategic consulting and business planning).
Raising share liquidity by supporting bid/ask quotations after market listing.
Releasing equity research overviews, distributing them to market players, holding consultations.

Tusk Quadro Securities always aims to unlock the growth potential of the companies it works with, which consists of three stages:

We buy up large equity positions from minority shareholders or stakes which are accumulated on the OTC market. As a result of issuer opacity and share illiquidity, the purchase price turns out to be considerably lower than the prices of peers which already trade on the market.
Once a stake has been consolidated, Tusk Quadro Securities launches a private placement among the company’s clients and external counterparties.
The final stage involves holding a road show which aims to make market players aware of the opportunity to buy into these shares before they are listed on a stock market. Tusk Quadro Securities arranges the sale of its equity stake and those held by clients through the market to other portfolio investors as soon as the price reaches the right level.

We always offer our clients the chance to buy and sell shares on time and on the most favorable terms possible.
