The Neglect Effect
Growth in a Crowded Market

The Hidden Barrier: The "Neglect Effect"
Many companies, especially micro, small and mid-cap companies struggle with their trading volume, share price and overall visibility. This is not because of leadership nor effort, but a well documented market reality known as "The Neglect Effect". When companies receive less attention from brokers, analysts, and the investing public, their true value is often overlooked, and they remain locked out of Wall Street’s largest capital pools. It’s not your fault - you simply cannot address what you haven’t been shown.
EDUCATION-FIRST
The only REAL Solution
At Acorn Management Partners, we combine real Wall Street expertise with a faith-based, education-first approach. Backed by 15+ years of experience, our proprietary six-step process helps companies expand their shareholder base through a strategic, data-driven outreach supported by clear KPIs, transparency and educating brokers not just on the hype of news but the true story behind your company.
INFORMED GROWTH
A True Strategic Ally in Acorn
At Acorn, we don’t “sell” CEOs and CFOs we empower them. By sharing Wall Street best practices and prioritizing education, we provide the tools and insight to drive sustainable shareholder growth. From plug-in distribution support to full-service communications, our flexible solutions put knowledge and transparency at the center. This allows you to make confident, data-driven decisions that sustain long-term market relevance.
The Challenge
RISKS OF UNDEREXPOSURE
Even Top Innovators Get Overlooked
Wall Street’s brokers control over $4.5 trillion in investor capital, but most public companies never get on their radar - too often overlooked not for lack of merit, but because the market’s gatekeepers are inundated with opportunities and prioritize only the loudest, most consistently communicated stories. If your company isn’t front and center with brokers, you risk missing out on critical capital, market recognition, and sustainable growth.
Key Risks of Underexposure:
- Low Visibility = Low Value
- Companies ignored by brokers and analysts often trade at a discount and see low trading volume.
OVERLOOKED IN A GROWING MARKET
Fragmented Messaging = Missed Opportunities
Bringing inconsistent communication to the public markets is a recipe for disaster. It is our job to help bridge that gap between the message of your company and the investors on wall street.
- Inconsistent communication confuses investors and erodes reputation.
- Without a proactive broker outreach program, companies lose access to new shareholders and major capital pools just through being overlooked or misunderstood.

Our Process

THE MOST EFFECTIVE PATH TO CAPITAL & SHAREHOLDER GROWTH
Our Approach: Deliberate, Disciplined, and Built for Results
With an asset pool over five times larger than the institutional capital market, broker-controlled assets open up an almost always untapped market for small - micro-cap companies.
- Extensive Network: We execute over 3,000 targeted outbound calls and 700 broker presentations each month, engaging professionals who collectively influence trillions in assets.
- Broker Impact: Each broker typically manages 400–500 accounts and an average of $305 million in assets.
- Capital Access: For example, a network of just 300 brokers represents $91.5 billion in assets. Even a conservative 0.25% penetration opens the door to $228.75 million in potential capital.
- Shareholder Expansion: Our broker-driven approach fuels real shareholder growth, driving trading volume and market visibility far beyond what traditional IR can achieve.
