Aureola 06 calls the shots on RASDAQ

Cluj-based brokerage firm Aureola 06 is the undisputed leader of the financial investment service companies in terms of traded value on RASDAQ, with transactions worth 2,985bn ROL (about $90 million). The bulk of the traded value registered by this company was derived from the sale of shares during the public purchasing offer put out by German HeidelbergCement Group last October. The shareholders were offered 1,333 ROL/share, with the total transaction worth more than 1,450bn ROL ($44 million). Part of those that sold shares of the cement producer enlisted the services of this brokerage firm, so that Aureola 06 registered transfers worth 2,911bn ROL. Besides the public purchasing offers, the other transactions concluded by the company throughout the year amounted to 46bn ROL, therefore the firm did not make it into the top ten in terms of actual transactions concluded on the market. The share transfers between two funds administrated by Capital SA, that is from Romanian Reconstruction Capital (RRC) to Sweepstone Investments earned Alpha Finance brokerage firm the third place in terms of brokered transactions value (411bn ROL). RRC transferred significant stakes in Socep Constanta and Ana Imep Pitesti to Sweepstone Investments Fund in mid last year. ZF
