This event is eligible for 2 CEUs.

The company helps clients achieve their goals in the distinct areas of Investment Advisory and as Capital Partners. The Capital Partners team provides corporate clients with Issuer Trading Services to help them reach the next level of their development. Generation IACP recognizes the challenges facing issuers in attaining exposure with the investment community. The focus of the company’s Issuer Trading Services offering is to help stimulate a receptive trading environment as an active market participant. Generation IACP trades the shares of its issuer clients with the objective of contributing to their liquidity in the market. As active market participants, liquidity providers compete and force others to compete for order flow based on certain characteristics of their orders. This competition can help narrow the difference between the price to buy and the price to sell, which increases liquidity and dampens volatility.
