Sean Sandilands
Managing Adviser Rodller Oceania
Sean Sandilands has been working in the Australian financial markets for 25 years. He started out at Merrill Lynch in Equity Derivatives dealing with institutions and HNW investors in a supporting role then untimely in trading and execution.
Sean then moved to ABN Amro Morgan as an Equity Derivatives adviser for several years dealing with HNW investors and then worked at several firms trying to find the right balance between trading and corporate advisory which was Pulse Markets where he worked for the last 4 years and in 2022 listed one of the most successful IPO’s on the ASX for 2022 which was Southern Cross Gold – SXG.ASX.
Eventually he saw the merit in getting his own AFSL and set up STK Markets which focuses on Equity Capital Markets and Sales Trading. He has established a team at STK that have been with him for the last 10 years that focus on getting results for his investors and himself.
Every deal or investment that STK will recommend, Sean through his various entities will be one of the largest investors so he has skin in the game like his investors.
Last year he raised over $80m for around 8 companies and two of these investments which took up most of those funds have returned over 400% so far. This is due to the back ground work involved in finding the right deal and finding the right management team who is also invested in the company with personal money.
Skin in the game is our favourite saying is one of the many rules we look for when investing in a company.
Together with his analytical team we believe STK is well positioned to find our investors the right investments with minimised risk to get the returns in the Small Cap space in the market.
