Investors gain and maintain good investor relations work

Companies that use the capital market as a financing channel, be it for equity or debt capital, face fierce competition. There is hardly a business model or industry that would be unique in the world. Investors are more likely to be spoiled for choice. For borrowers, this means they need to promote an investment in the company, communicate with existing and potential investors, and build trust in them. A professional investor relations work contributes exactly to this.

Building on our financial market expertise, we pursue a clear advisory approach. As former fund managers, analysts or bankers, we are very familiar with the perspective and requirements of the financial community.

-IR on the internet

Investor Relations on the Internet – the Internet has become the first source of information for the financial community as well. A comprehensive IR internet presence is therefore a must. In addition to equity investors, lenders (such as bondholders, banks) are increasingly calling for up-to-date information about the company and its key data.

The requirements go beyond simply setting up existing documents as print versions. The financiers, but also those responsible in the company itself, a considerable added value created by the possibilities of the Internet. At the same time, routine tasks can be automated, leaving more time for demanding tasks.

The in-depth practice training financial figures deals with procedures of corporate valuation and financial ratios, important for a competent communication.

Customers also benefit from our expertise in financial market issues through training that we tailor to their needs.

Contact us! We will gladly design together with you an individual training program for your specific training needs.

-Perception Studies

The content, scope and expectations of the financial community for IR work are often completely misjudged by companies.

A large number of well-meant and often expensive measures evaporate ineffectively and the development of a coherent IR strategy takes place without deeper knowledge of the expectations of capital market participants. Self-perception and perception of others are significantly different.

Help is provided by so-called perception studies. We design these individually and are specially tailored to the needs of our customers. For example, they contain the following items:

Strategy Analysis (Equity Story)

Expert interviews (analysts, fund managers, etc.)

Practice test (e.g., response, ad-hoc, IR on the Internet)

The benefit for the company is as follows:

Better decision-making basis for strategic considerations

Objective assessment of standing within the financial community

Feedback on previous IR measures

Strengths and weaknesses of the IR work (also in comparison to the peer group)

Quick improvement approaches for daily IR work
