What is the investment potential of this equity fundraise?
Shareholders enjoy returns through price appreciation of their shares and the dividend rights they entail. Exit opportunities include leverage buyouts (LBOs) and public offerings on a listed stock market such as the SIX Swiss Exchange (IPOs).
Generally speaking the earlier the investment, the higher the risk but also reward. A Series A refers to an early fundraising round, usually following a seed-round and prior to subsequent rounds continuing the letters of the alphabet (Series B, C, D and so on).
As delineated by the graph above, equity shares follow a higher investment horizon. Its trend correlates fundamentally with the core growth of the company's ecosystem (user base, licences, infrastructure, IP and held assets).
Private markets offer by far the biggest returns in equity, reaching up to high-multiples on initial investments and largely outshining its public stock counter-party. Until now. However, these lucrative opportunities were reserved for institutional and accredited investors. SwissBorg Series A changes this paradigm, democratising the access to equity ownership, directly to the community.
