Helping Major Shareholders Unlock Liquidity Without Selling Their Shares

Thailand has evolved into one of Southeast Asia's most important capital markets, serving as a gateway between the rapidly expanding economies of ASEAN and the global investment community. With internationally recognized corporations spanning energy, banking, healthcare, telecommunications, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and technology, many founders, executives, and significant shareholders possess substantial wealth concentrated in publicly traded shares.

While these holdings often represent decades of entrepreneurial success, they can also create a familiar challenge: significant net worth on paper but limited immediate liquidity.

Altivolus Capital Partners helps address this challenge by introducing qualified shareholders to specialized international share financing providers capable of structuring stock loan solutions secured against publicly traded shares listed on eligible international exchanges.
 

Understanding Share Financing

Many investors immediately assume that accessing capital requires selling stock.

Selling, however, may create several unintended consequences:

• Capital gains taxes

• Reduced ownership

• Lost voting influence

• Negative market perception

• Missed future appreciation

• Disruption of long-term ownership strategies

Share financing offers an alternative.

Rather than liquidating shares, qualifying shareholders may be able to leverage a portion of their publicly traded equity to access liquidity while continuing to maintain ownership of their investment.

For many major shareholders, this represents a strategic financing tool rather than an exit strategy.
 

The Evolution of Thailand's Capital Markets

​

Thailand's securities markets have undergone remarkable development over the past several decades.
 

Before the Modern Exchange

Prior to the 1970s, Thailand's securities trading occurred primarily through informal broker networks with relatively limited transparency and liquidity.

As Thailand's economy industrialized rapidly, the need for an organized capital market became increasingly apparent.
 

Establishment of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)

The Stock Exchange of Thailand officially commenced operations in 1975.

Its objectives included:

• Raising capital for Thai businesses

• Encouraging public ownership

• Improving market transparency

• Supporting long-term economic development

• Attracting international investment

Over time, the SET became one of Southeast Asia's most respected securities exchanges.

Today it serves hundreds of listed companies representing a wide range of industries.
 

Market for Alternative Investment (mai)

Recognizing the importance of emerging businesses, Thailand later introduced the Market for Alternative Investment in 1999.

The mai was designed specifically for:

• Small and medium-sized enterprises

• High-growth companies

• Innovative businesses

• Expanding technology firms

Many successful companies have used the mai as a stepping stone before eventually graduating to the main SET board.
 

Thailand's Economy Continues to Diversify

Thailand has become a regional leader across multiple industries including:

• Tourism and hospitality

• Banking and financial services

• Petrochemicals

• Energy

• Automotive manufacturing

• Electronics

• Food production

• Healthcare

• Logistics

• Telecommunications

• Renewable energy

• Consumer products

Many founders and controlling shareholders in these sectors have accumulated substantial equity positions that may qualify for international share financing, subject to lender eligibility.
 

The Liquidity Challenge for Thai Shareholders

Successful entrepreneurs frequently encounter a paradox.

Their publicly traded holdings may be worth tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, yet much of that wealth remains concentrated in company stock.

Selling shares may not always be desirable because it could:

• Signal reduced confidence

• Lower ownership percentages

• Affect governance influence

• Trigger taxes

• Reduce participation in future upside

Consequently, many sophisticated shareholders seek alternative methods of accessing liquidity.
 

How Altivolus Capital Partners Can Help

Altivolus Capital Partners acts solely as an independent introducer and finder.

We introduce qualifying shareholders to established third-party share financing providers that specialize in securities-backed lending across numerous international markets.

Depending upon lender requirements and borrower eligibility, financing may be available for qualifying publicly traded shares listed on eligible international exchanges.

Potential uses of liquidity may include:
 

Business Expansion

Access capital for:

• New facilities

• Equipment purchases

• International growth

• Strategic acquisitions

without immediately liquidating valuable equity holdings.
 

Portfolio Diversification

Many founders possess significant concentration risk.

Share financing may allow investors to diversify into:

• Commercial real estate

• Private investments

• Venture capital

• Family offices

• Other global opportunities

while continuing to retain ownership of qualifying shares.
 

Real Estate Acquisition

Liquidity obtained through qualifying share financing may assist with:

• Luxury residences

• Commercial developments

• International property investments

• Hospitality projects

without requiring outright sale of long-term investments.
 

Corporate Liquidity

Business owners occasionally require capital for:

• Working capital

• Expansion initiatives

• Strategic investments

• Debt restructuring

• Growth opportunities

Share-backed financing can provide another financing alternative to evaluate.
 

Wealth Planning

Many ultra-high-net-worth families incorporate securities-backed financing into broader wealth management strategies involving:

• Estate planning

• Succession planning

• Asset diversification

• International investment planning
   

Potential Advantages of International Share Financing

Depending upon lender terms and individual circumstances, potential benefits may include:

• Continued ownership of qualifying shares

• Potential avoidance of immediate share sales

• Competitive financing structures

• Confidential transaction processes

• Flexible liquidity solutions

• International execution

• Financing secured primarily by eligible securities rather than traditional business assets

Every transaction is unique and subject to lender underwriting, market conditions, jurisdictional requirements, and applicable regulations.
 

Who May Benefit?

International share financing may be appropriate for qualifying:

• Founders

• CEOs

• Directors

• Family offices

• Institutional shareholders

• Significant individual investors

• Holding companies

• Entrepreneurs with concentrated equity positions
   

Why Thailand Continues to Attract Global Investors

Thailand remains attractive due to several long-term characteristics:

• Strategic ASEAN location

• Well-developed banking system

• Strong manufacturing base

• Growing technology sector

• Established tourism industry

• Expanding infrastructure

• International trade relationships

• Increasing foreign investment

As businesses continue to expand, shareholders often seek sophisticated financing solutions that complement long-term ownership rather than replacing it.

A Strategic Alternative to Selling

For many successful Thai entrepreneurs and investors, publicly traded shares represent years—or even generations—of value creation.

Selling those shares is not always the optimal solution.

Share financing may offer a strategic alternative that provides liquidity while allowing qualifying shareholders to maintain long-term ownership of their investments.
