Reach the readers who are already looking for your name.
Octans distributes clearly-labeled sponsored and issuer-IR content in a lane kept physically separate from our independent research. You buy distribution to an audience already reading about under-covered US small and mid-caps and Greater China listings. What you buy is distribution, not an opinion, and never a rating.
Independent research is not for sale. Sponsorship buys a labeled placement in its own lane, and that separation is the product. It protects your placement as much as it protects our neutrality.
What we offer issuers
Sponsored placement in its own lane
Your message is published on Octans in the sponsored lane, with its own template, its own oxblood chrome, and a “Paid Advertisement · Sponsored Content” label above the headline. It is never dressed as, or mixed into, our independent research.
Issuer-IR content, labeled and disclosed
Prepared-for-you or prepared-by-you IR material carries the Rule 2241 authorship line and the standing §17(b) / FINRA 2210·2241 disclosure inline. That labeling keeps a paid placement compliant and unmistakable to the reader.
Distribution to the audience the terminals skip
The same full-body-open, SEO-first surface that carries our independent coverage of under-covered US small/mid-cap and Greater China names, so a sponsored placement reaches readers already searching that corner of the market.
Firewall you can point your counsel at
The independent-vs-sponsored separation is enforced in the data model and the API scopes, not just the styling. A sponsored item is excluded from the neutral feed, the licensable API default scope, and the news sitemap by construction, so the separation is provable rather than promised.
How the firewall protects both sides
A sponsored placement and independent research live in physically separate lanes, enforced in the data model, the API scopes, and the chrome, not just the styling. That is what lets a reader (and a regulator) trust both: your paid message is unmistakably labeled, and our research stays visibly untouched by it.
Our own coverage and view, published full-body-open for reach. Firewall-scoped to the independent lane; a paid item can never enter it, become an “Octans Select”, or carry an Octans rating.
Your placement gets distinct oxblood chrome, a “Paid Advertisement” label above the headline, and the mandatory §17(b) / FINRA 2210·2241 disclosure inline. It is excluded from the independent feed, the licensable API default scope, and the news sitemap by construction.
- Our independent research: what we cover, and the view we take, is never bought. Sponsorship buys distribution of clearly-labeled paid content, not an “Octans View”.
- An independent rating, price target, or a place in Octans Selects: those are editorial and firewall-scoped to the independent lane. A paid item can never become one.
- Any placement that hides its sponsorship: every paid item is labeled above the headline and carries its statutory disclosure. There is no unlabeled option.
Sponsored / IR gallery
Every item below is PAID, issuer-sponsored content, not Octans independent research. This is the only place on the site where sponsored placements are browsable; each carries its own §17(b) / FINRA 2210·2241 disclosure on its page.
No sponsored placements are live right now. When an issuer engagement publishes, it appears here in its own labeled lane: request coverage to be the first.
How it works
- 1
Tell us about the company. Send your name, ticker, and venue, and what you’d like distributed. We’ll tell you honestly whether it fits the readership.
- 2
We prepare the labeled placement. The content is published in the sponsored lane with its distinct chrome, the Rule 2241 authorship line, and the mandatory §17(b) / FINRA 2210·2241 disclosure, reviewed under our Rule 2210 principal-approval process before it goes live.
- 3
It reaches the audience, kept separate. Your placement is discoverable in this gallery and its own page, and stays out of our independent feed, licensable API default scope, and news sitemap. That separation is what keeps it credible.
Commercial terms are set per engagement, not published here. We reply to real inquiries from issuers and their advisors, not form-fills.

Nothing on this page is a recommendation, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security. Sponsored / issuer-IR distribution is a paid service, physically separate from Octans Capital independent research; standing disclosures apply. See Methodology & Disclosures.
