IDMidCaps presentation in PDF

Established in 2000, IDMidCaps is France's leading independent research provider. We specialise in the mid caps segment, i.e. companies with a market capitalisation of less than EUR 1.5 billion. This segment of Euronext accounts for 85% of French listed companies, excluding the Banking, Insurance and Finance Companies/Holding Companies sectors.

Our definition of independence

As far as we are concerned, independence lies in the analysis of the economic model. Our economic model precludes any conflict of interest, because we are not involved in financial engineering and do not generate any income from listed companies. As far as we are aware, this may well be the "purest" model in Europe.

This exacting position resulted from our consideration of the existing offering on the financial markets. Our model is an alternative to that offered by brokers to provide a different kind of added value. We are not in competition with broking houses that are customers, an increasing number of which are destined to become our partners.

Our added value

Our added value stems from 5 factors:

+ Quality content;
+ Specialisation
+ Independence
+ Exhausitiveness
+ Innovation

Quality content:

The quality of our content is the cornerstone of the added value that we offer our customers on a daily basis. This top-end position is based on:

- A team of experienced professionals
- A resolutely fundamental analytical approach in order to assess and anticipate a company's potential accurately
- A focus on research and information processing using a tried and tested methodology
- A long-term relationship with management of companies, allowing in-depth knowledge of shares and market-sector problems
Specialisation:

The first prerequisite of an efficient financial market is the availability of information on all listed companies. This is a sine qua non for attracting investor interest and for new shares to enter the market. As a result, research services have traditionally tended to give mid caps low priority, due to the problems in funding this research (structural illiquidity of mid caps).

Our specialisation stems from the realisation that those with most experience in mid caps had come to this conclusion. The goal of IDMidCaps is to provide a lasting practical solution to this gap in the market, which has to date been a structural one.
Independence:

The traditional sources of information - i.e. broking houses - may cover part of this market, but their model based on transaction volumes generates an economic incompatibility for a large number of its shares. In addition, apart from their essential role as intermediary, they may be subject to conflicts of interest.

Our independent economic model therefore complements the model used by broking houses, because it means we can free ourselves from these two constraints and provide a different approach.
Exhaustiveness:

Our aim is not to be a "research boutique", as the fashionable expression has it, but to provide a long-term solution to the structural problem of the lack on information on mid caps. IDMidCaps has established methodologies and teams to ensure full coverage of listed mid caps.

The aim of this innovative approach - the sole of its kind in Europe - is to supplement our fundamental approach to financial analysis with other information flows to monitor company trends over time, and to offer investors the information they require, regardless of their field of business.
Innovation:

Innovation is an essential feature of our development model.

Providing information processed on our platform, which is accessible by Internet, is one of the most significant innovations achieved by IDMidCaps. As well as our ergonomic platform, we have developed a system permitting real-time updates of all the information available.

For instance, we have set up a special software that can assimilate all formatted financial data from an Excel file, generate all the formulae we consider to be essential to eliminate sources of error as far as possible and to provide a real-time interface with stock-market flows.

Our solution - a genuine, constantly changing stock guide - means, for instance, that it is possible to show accounts by destination or by type, generate up-to-date ratios in real time, update our estimates for a company in seconds on the basis of important information and, more particularly, provide very considerable flexibility in incorporating new data, creating new ratios, etc., so as to constantly increase the added value of our service.

This innovative approach is also reflected in the tools for assisting decision-making we provide, such as screening, sector aggregates and an estimate of the risk premium. Our aim is to become indispensable to you.
