Bondholders' Identification

In the opaque world of debt capital markets, knowing who holds your securities is a critical strategic advantage. Publicly available data is notoriously incomplete and outdated, leaving issuers and their advisors without the intelligence required to execute complex transactions or manage investor relations effectively.

Our Role

We provide comprehensive bondholder identification services, delivering actionable intelligence on the beneficial ownership of our clients' debt securities. We bridge the gap between an issuer and its true investor base, enabling effective and targeted engagement.

Beneficial Owner Analysis

Our robust methodologies trace the chain of ownership through layers of custodians and intermediaries to identify the ultimate beneficial owners of debt securities, providing clarity at the fund level, not just the institutional level.

Intelligence for Corporate Actions

We deliver the precise ownership intelligence required to plan and execute successful debt restructurings, consent solicitations, and tender or exchange offers, ensuring our clients can engage directly with decision-makers.

Investor Relations & Targeting

We provide detailed reports on ownership by geography and investment type, allowing issuers to develop a sophisticated understanding of their existing bondholders and to target potential new investors more effectively.

Regulatory & Tax Compliance

Regulatory & Tax Compliance Our identification reports are designed to meet specific regulatory and tax certification requirements, such as providing beneficial owner residency reports for withholding tax relief under Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) and supporting issuer obligations under directives like the Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD II).

Lifecycle Event Management

Administering all amendments, waivers, consents, and assignments, and maintaining the definitive register of lenders.

The Aether Advantage

The success of a critical debt transaction often depends on the ability to communicate and negotiate with a majority of bondholders. Relying on public data is a high-risk strategy that compromises the ability to achieve the desired outcome.

Actionable Intelligence, Not Just Data

We deliver more than a list of names; we provide deep, analytical insights into the composition of a bondholder base. Our reports include contact details, historical trading trends, and cross-ownership analysis, equipping our clients with the intelligence needed to build a robust engagement strategy and anticipate investor behaviour.

Speed and Accuracy When It Matters

In time-sensitive situations like a restructuring, the ability to quickly and accurately identify bondholders is paramount. Our experienced team and proven methodologies allow us to deliver comprehensive preliminary reports in a matter of days, giving our clients a critical head start in their engagement efforts.
