‘Reverse Roadshows’ with the Investor Forum
The Investor Forum have developed this Investor Showcase Initiative, which will take place on 16th January, as part of the Society's ongoing Shaping Investor-Corporate Dialogue with them.
Building on our partnership and learnings from the 'Shaping Tomorrow's Dialogues' report, the Investor Relations Society and The Investor Forum invite you to join an online session designed to enhance transparency and communication between investors and companies.
In this 'reverse roadshow' UK companies will have a unique opportunity to hear directly from four Investor Forum members who will share insights on their structure, the investment approaches relevant to UK issuers, and their key stewardship priorities.
