Corey Ribotsky News

Quoted in the on-line business magazine “Financial Week” Corey Ribostsky of the NIR Group had this to say:

“The amount of companies looking for PIPE financing or PIPE-like financing has increased somewhat as other secondary and follow-on offerings have been stalled on Wall Street.”

As you may already be aware, PIPEs are “Private investments in public equities.”  This investment strategy is becoming increasing popular as control investments are harder to execute.  Companies feel compelled to utilize PIPEs for their financing when the usual capital markets do not provide financing and the usual equity markets do not exist for that issuer.

As David Ratzker joins the investment team at the NIR Group of Roslyn, New York, he will be directing a portfolio of equity investments in publicly traded companies.
The goal of this special type of financing is to enable issuers easy and quick access to capital, more control and flexibility of capital issuance and less dilution of capital.
Many other well known public companies have recently raised equity with these types of structures are SunTrust, Zions Bancorp, AMR Corp, and others.

“I’m excited to join a pioneer in the direct investment space and I look forward to contributing to the firm’s continued success,” said Mr. David Ratzker after his appointment as Portfolio Manager at the investment firm of the NIR Group of Roslyn, New York.
Mr. Ratzker, a graduate of Yeshiva University and recently of the Yorkville Advisors investment firm, is uniquely qualified to oversee a portfolio of equity investments in publicly traded companies.

There are many factors that must come together for any business to thrive, and this is especially true of investment firms. At the NIR Group, LLC with Corey Ribotsky at the helm as the head portfolio manager, investing can be described not only as a science, but as an art.

The portfolio managers are not just managers, but partners as well, assuring no conflict of interest when it comes to getting the most from your money. The team and business infrastructure is large, and the senior managers have experience since 1999 investing over seven billion dollars through every possible business cycle.

Enormous efforts are made researching companies so that portfolio building and management of risk are done with the utmost due diligence. There is a rigorous investment process alongside a highly disciplined investment outlook in conjunction with aggressive management which results in consistent, excellent performance.

With all these efforts it is no wonder that the NIR Group has had such consistent annual returns since 1999.

Recently Mr. Brett Golden joined the business development team of the NIR Group, reporting directly to Corey Ribotsky, the chairman and chief executive officer of the firm.

Mr. Golden is a respected leader in the industry, according to Ribotsky. “This strategic addition to our veteran staff supports the continued growth of NIR amid the expanding PIPEs market.
