1. Competing for Capital

Abstract

Bringing in new shareholders, getting listed—or going public, as it is also called—or issuing new securities implies competing against hundreds or even thousands of companies all looking for partners to finance their development. These companies are often referred to as “the issuers.” They may be from the same sector or come from entirely different economic areas. They may be of comparable size, larger or smaller. And they may be active in their own country or run global operations.

Quality information systems;
Understanding of and compliance with legal obligations;
Ability to anticipate future changes in financial communications

Applying each of the principles listed above, with an integrated vision shared by the entire executive team, is going to be mission critical in achieving best-practice Investor Relations in a measurable way.

5. Conclusion

Abstract

The dynamic and complex nature of the capital markets may challenge management to isolate the impact of effective Investor Relations and corporate communications from broader market forces. In addition, there is the deeply rooted belief that results will “speak for themselves” and that Investor Relations are costs that can easily be done without.
