Business reporting | It is important for investors to be kept informed on an ongoing basis about the company's business and any significant developments that may affect the share price (inside information). In ensuring transparency, it is crucial that the company publishes reliable information that will help investors decide on their future investment moves, including any negative information. Disclosure of business information includes the publication of periodic financial reports on business performance. Communication on significant events includes information on significant investments, corporate changes, takeovers, legal proceedings, new products and services, etc. |
Investor relations | A listed company should have a contact person within the company who is responsible for communicating with investors, both existing and new investors. In order to communicate with investors, it is useful for the company to also establish contact with analysts, to organise analysts' meetings with investors or for the company to attend such meetings where company representatives directly provide investors with specific information about the company's business. Good investor relations can help to put a company on the radar of major financial institutions and thus widen its opportunities for additional financing. At the same time, good relations with investors and gaining their trust are a necessary step to ensure that they will stand by the company even in bad times and provide additional support when needed. |
