F.S.C. Hawaii, Inc.

We provide a complete range of strategic management, advisory and marketing consulting services, encompassing strategy formulation, corporate development and corporate planning as well as market research and business intelligence. We advise clients on a wide range of issues, from growth strategies and market entry, to acquisitions and new product development, to divestments and business rationalizations.

Our philosophy is "market-centric": we rely extensively on the marketplace to drive the strategy formulation and planning processes. Unlike other firms, which often employ standardized analysis for every situation, we first assess the market to ensure an approach that is appropriate for our clients’ unique needs.

Since 1994, through its relationship with Financial Shares Corporation, F.S.C. Hawaii, Inc. has worked with a variety of financial services firms, including banks, brokerages, hedge funds, insurance companies and private equity firms as well as nonfinancial companies both publicly and privately held, to develop successful communications plans. We help companies increase stakeholder value by:

• Positioning and distinguishing the company and its management
• Enhancing and protecting the company’s image and reputation
• Fostering key audiences’ support for and belief in the company vision

Our involvement ranges from providing strategic counsel on corporate and management positioning to managing and executing the entire communications function for a client.

Our practice areas include investor relations, media relations and crisis management. Partnering with our clients, we develop communications and investor relations programs that achieve continuity and fulfill management’s ultimate objectives. Our programs encompass all of a company’s key audiences: shareholders, employees, customers, the community, and appropriate regulatory bodies. Our level of involvement depends on our clients’ needs. Many larger clients look to us for strategic counsel. For others, we take on the outsourced role of an internal communications department, developing the necessary plans and managing the execution.
