Regulation, particularly MiFID II, has changed the shape of Investor Relations. Companies have suffered from a reduction in both quality and quantity of research, and many investors expect a further decrease in their interaction with Brokers. Boards have to take control of their Investor Relations agenda through a proactive, direct approach to shareholder engagement. Effective Investor Relations can take up to 30% of management’s time, a considerable commitment. However, a full time Investor Relations employee is not always the answer, many companies do not have the scale or budget to justify one. Independent Investor Relations enables Boards to access professional, strategic advice and dedicated support to suit their requirements.
Independent Investor Relations is free from conflict and can offer the whole Board truly impartial, honest advice.
