Designed to give more experienced Investor Relations (‘IR’) professionals and Capital Markets participants an in-depth update on current IR best practices.

The course covers the breadth of regulation compliance and disclosure practice, capital markets trends, building closer relationships with investors and analysts, evolving technology and social media, as well as best practices in critical aspects of the day-to-day role of IR.

The aim of the course is to provide a practical view of what the investment community expects and how you as the face of the company can influence this. The programme offers a wealth of real life case studies and industry expert speakers.

Central to this programme is the fund manager led discussion which provides an excellent opportunity to compare and contrast different engagement approaches and identify those that will work best for your investors and your company.
