We are determined to operate with the highest standards of ethics, and rigorously apply first principles thinking
We believe both strategy and financial advisors of today are woefully inadequate with their skill sets (and many downright unethical) in advising clients. At Worldstar, we apply first principles thinking derived from engineering basics, market structure and corporate finance analysis to our work and investments, while monitoring macroeconomic and geo-political developments.
We leverage our understanding of human behavior, technology, cross-sector experience, all while utilising information ubiquity to inform/guide us towards underwriting our investment bets. Our values underpin our advisory project and investment criteria and also serve as guiding principles against cliches or propaganda as well as the street's subscriptions to narratives or fashions.
Corporate Finance
We offer independent strategic advice on mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and spin-offs, with our fees linked to the long term success of the business, not just transaction success. We bring comprehension of energy market structures to our advice.
Capital Markets
We house deep expertise in all capital market aspects including structured finance, private capital access, public equity markets advisory, and advise on issuances, capital restructurings, and regulatory matters. This covers both energy regulatory and capital markets regulatory.
Industry Research
Our industry research team supports our corporate finance and markets advisors to ensure our recommendations are thoroughly anchored in facts, and also serves our investments team to build/strengthen/update conviction in our holdings/bets.
