Overview

Rights offerings are a valuable way for closed-end funds to raise additional capital and to allow shareholders to increase their investment in a fund. At EQ, we understand the importance of clear, streamlined communications with shareholders throughout this process. That’s why our trusted team of tenured information agents provides you a seamless experience—through all stages of the offering, from pre-launch planning to coordination, and execution. Our strategic advisory and flawless execution drive successful results of your offering.
