KEY IR THEMES TO CONSIDER FOR 2019<\/span><\/em><\/h1>\n

A brief extract from Q4\u2019s Managing Director of Europe, Amit Sanghvi on the upcoming key drifts in IR for this year<\/em><\/p>\n

As we dive increasingly deeper into an IR universe heavily impacted by MiFID II and ESG, the mandate for robust and proactive IR programs has never been more intense.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

IROs and MiFID II: <\/strong>It\u2019s been just over a year since\u00a0MiFID II\u00a0took effect, we may say there\u2019s no turning back. We\u2019ve all felt the\u00a0decline of the sell-side\u00a0globally, along with the increasing loss of research coverage and increase in direct investor engagement.<\/p>\n

Over the last year, the relationship between corporates and brokers has come under some serious scrutiny. Whether its their ability to draw crowds at an event or bring key \u00a0\u00a0institutional investors to roadshows, the sell-side has had a challenging year. Historically, skeptics have always raised concerns around a broker\u2019s partiality towards their sales desk clients. But now many IROs feel frustrated at the lack of clarity around which institutions can be accessed via their broker, versus those they should directly contact themselves. Many corporates have also seen a real drop in conference attendance arranged by brokers.<\/p>\n

This means that IROs will have to directly engage investors if\/where their brokers can\u2019t. We believe corporate access outside of broker engagements will also become a focal point.<\/h3>\n

It is predicted an overwhelming trend for corporates, of all shapes and sizes, to directly and proactively shoulder a large number of investor relationships. Several have already started to experiment, by taking the corporate access model in-house and organising \u2018IR only\u2019 roadshows put together and managed by the IR team alone, maybe with the help of IR external agencies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/strong>The so called Holy Trinity: ESG, Passive Investing, and Corporate Access: <\/strong>ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and the rise of passive funds\u00a0are undeniable trends that are profoundly changing the capital markets. ESG has become a key focus in the IRO\u2019s mandate, especially for mid and large-cap companies.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s consumers are highly aware of their overall footprint and making environmentally and socially conscious decisions. They\u2019re more conscious than ever before about contributing to the success of a brand that meets their growing expectations. In this way, ESG is directly impacting a corporate\u2019s perceived value, and in turn, an investor\u2019s ROI. In addition, these same consumers are making their opinions known, as HNWs and large groups of retail investors, flexing their votes on governance matters at AGMs.<\/p>\n

As the investor universe increasingly factors ESG into their investment decisions, corporates are striving to help drive share price through better governance.<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ll also continue to witness the rise in passive investing, index funds and ETFS. Passive funds will keep growing as a total universe (and ultimately surpass active funds based on current trends). And corporates will have to engage these passive funds through governance channels, to drive shareholder value and prevent activist situations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the IR market is still learning about the\u00a0potential value of alternative data, Sanghvi<\/em> \u00a0says that \u201cleveraging sophisticated algorithms and alternative data sets is ready to become a formidable part of investor targeting. It\u2019s already fundamental to the way many investors look for investment opportunities.\u201d<\/em> He underlines the importance of IROs catching-up with the buy-side who have been using alternative data for years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In conclusion, IROs will need to run their programs more efficiently to try to manage everything. At the heart of this will be finding a real marriage between a variety of advisers and smart technologies, in our view. MiFID II has undoubtedly made it more challenging than ever for the buy and sell sides to connect.<\/h3>\n

IROs will also have to become even more \u201ccreative\u201d about communicating to the right investors and driving fair share price value.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
