Investor Relations

Investor Relations (IR) is a strategic management responsibility that integrates finance, communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable the most effective two-way communication between a company, the financial community, and other constituencies, which ultimately contributes to a company's securities achieving fair valuation.

IR philosophy

Good communication supports the creation of shareholder value. South African companies need to have a transparent relationship with their stakeholders and those that comment on their performance and initiatives. It is the way in which a company communicates investment case to the capital market - in essence its staying power and quality of earnings.

The demands of the local capital market and financial media require that companies devote increasing time and resource to their communications. Our role is to work with their communication teams in enhancing all aspects of this process.
