Financial investment service provider Active International came out on top of the brokers' ranking for July in terms of the value of the transactions brokered on the RASDAQ market.
Even though it did not handle very large public offerings, Active International was the investors' favourite for the other types of transactions concluded on the RASDAQ, with the total transactions conducted through this company reaching 42.4bn ROL, over 17% of the total trades on the RASDAQ last month. Active International was tenth in the ranking for the first seven months, having brokered 137.9bn ROL's worth.
The top contender in terms of public offerings brokered last month was Vanguard Bucharest. Vanguard is also the second largest brokerage company on this segment in the seven-month ranking, handling 698bn ROL in public offerings. Vanguard's trades in July amounted to 31bn ROL, with public offerings accounting for 25bn ROL of this figure. Total trades since the beginning of the year reached 744bn ROL, putting it second in the respective ranking. Vanguard was third in terms of the value of the transactions brokered on the RASDAQ.
The most traded shares on the RASDAQ throughout last month were those of the Unirea Shopping Center. Transactions involving these shares stood at 39.9bn ROL. The shopping complex actually came out on top largely because of a special deal with its shares, with 2.8% in Unirea Shopping Center changing hands for 38bn ROL.
Next among the top traded issuers was Athenee Palace; its shares were very liquid given that 18% of the company's share capital was traded throughout the month. SIF Oltenia last month liquidated its stake, of more than 6%, in Athenee Palace. The total shares traded were worth 16.9bn ROL.
The highest market value of all the companies listed on the RASDAQ was that of Eurom Bank, whose market capitalisation stood at $53.5 million, which accounts for approximately 2.6% of the total capitalisation of the market. RASDAQ's capitalisation amounted to $2bn in late July. Eurom Bank is also one of the very low liquidity companies on the RASDAQ, which is due to its shareholding structure. Its sole shareholder, the Kolal Group, owns about 90% of the Bank.
