Spin-Off Advisors, LLC
Spin-Off Service
Spin-Off Advisors, LLC is an investment research boutique that provides independent research on information-poor, inefficiently-priced spin-off situations. The firm was formed in 1998 by industry veteran, Joseph Cornell, and provides proprietary investment research focused on restructuring situations. Our proprietary product, “Spin-Off Research”, is an extensive monthly institutional advisory report, featuring continuous research on corporate spin-off activity. We include detailed analysis on fresh and recently announced spin-offs, a global spin-off calendar and company updates.
Spin-offs often result in a higher aggregate value for the constituent pieces. A number of studies show that spin-offs historically have generated far better returns than the overall market. Spin-offs do well partly because when a business and its management are freed from a large corporate parent, pent-up entrepreneurial forces are unleashed. A study by Lehman Brothers of 88 spin-offs between 2000 and 2005 found that they beat the S&P 500 by an average of 45% in their first two years as independent companies.
