Ignite your Stock’s Potential through Broker Distribution

Atlanta Sarasota New York London Singapore

Acorn is a hard charging, evangelistic partner that public companies use to expand and explain their investment thesis from Main

Street all the way up through Wall St and into your shareholder base. AMP’s revolutionary model is completely independent and

sustainable for the long term because of our 450,000 broker database, effective and reportable.

Acorn increases your company’s market exposure without the hype of social media, emails, and newsletter blasts. Acorn builds

each company an independent broker database then explains a company’s investment thesis to each broker constantly while

COMPOUNDING the investment story through the progression of calls at a rate of 3000 calls per month per client. The process is

dedicated to drive long-term investors through their trusted broker to own a company. Acorn Management Partners is the ONLY

solution in the space that works solely with companies based on their expected catalysts and successful execution of their

business model.

Acorn understands the need to increase the shareholder base steadily and create a truly sophisticated market. This is done by

creating relationships with licensed professionals and explaining the company’s investment thesis. Acorn makes approximately

80,000 + AMPLIFYING phone calls per month to only Series 7 Licensed Advisors, Brokers, and PM’s.

Acorn is designed to increase the market's interest in a company while decreasing that company’s liabilities by only speaking

with licensed Series 7 professionals, who all make recommendations to their books of ~300 clients which are all potential

shareholders. The suitability still stands and MUST always stand with the Series 7 representative.

Shareholder Amplification


One of the biggest Myths on Wall St. is “news creates volume.” How many time have you heard “ you need more news, if you want volume,” that’s just hype and building an unsophisticated market.

• It’s a misconception that most management teams believe, but yet they don’t understand why their news is not creating volume. News doesn’t create volume, it’s just words. It’s the amount of shareholders and brokers reading those words and reacting to your news that creates volume.

In general, volume is a byproduct of the number of investors in your stock, your shareholder base.

Here are some quick numbers you need to consider about your shareholder base:

• Roughly 5,000 shareholders, the volume should be about 100,000 shares of volume a day

• Roughly 10,000-12,500 shareholders, the volume should be about 1,000,000 shares of volume a day

Look, it’s simple, the more eyeballs on your stock either buying or selling creates volume. So this might answer many of the questions about why all the programs or companies in the past didn’t work. You must understand there are two type’s of shareholders and decide which one you want. At Acorn we only work to build the sophisticated base because of its strength and longevity.

• Un-sophisticated shareholder: IR Programs create a short-term response in your stock with traders using hype pieces such as emails, research reports, non-deal roadshow, and newsletters. All of the buyers are traders with little to no understanding of the true value of your company and your time horizon. When something negative happens as it does in most small and micro-cap stocks, they have nowhere to turn for an explanation. What are they supposed to do, email back the email blaster? No. Write a letter to the editor? They will just promptly hit the sell button, and that’s that….

• Sophisticated shareholder: On the other hand, if a broker recommended the stock to his clients, they give their client a recommendation explaining the investment outlook for the short and long term. Both shareholders will work for the short term and when the perception of something negative happens, while the market is reacting negatively, the sophisticated shareholder base will stabilize the market by having the proper information within a highly volatile market. The broker is the key point. His response will be professional by going directly to you (the company) and asking for an explanation of the news, event, or story that has recently disrupted the market so he can inform your shareholders his clients. He has the trust of the shareholders, who will give them solid and accurate information and then recommend how to proceed forward.

Email Campaigns

•Email blast 10 Million People Costs $50,000 Generates $500k in volume

•THE PROBLEM Unsophisticated Market

Internet Marketing

•Warm and Fuzzy, Social Media, Nice Websites


Research Reports

•AMP actually owns a research company and has written reports for billion dollar companies


Traditional Investor Relations (IR)

•Phone calls, marketing, websites, news releases, etc.

•THE PROBLEM Individual Investors and Unsophisticated Market

Alternatives to working with AMP

You have tried all of the above. They do not work!

Don’t be the Hot Stock of the day!

• “Promoters” have their stocks bought from focused e-mail marketing to short term traders (zero long term effect,) targeting direct mail marketing to small unsophisticated investors (Destructive long term effect, because now traders are buying stock from your existing shareholder base, therefore, eliminating all stock support from your current investor base,) engaging partner promotions, additional “Promoters,” email mass marketing, and social engagement using Twitter and other sites to hype buyers in your stock.

• Professionals do not buy stocks or recommend them because they received an email or because they went to an HOTSTOCK website.

• To make this simple, ask yourself this question: “Would you invest your hard earned money based on a single email from an HOTSTOCK website?” If the answer is NO, then why would you ever allow them to represent you? That’s not even taking into account what it does to your reputation on Wall Street.

AMP is not an Investor Relations or Public Relations company.

We are PROFESSIONAL Relations
