Our business is built on the relationships we have established within the investment community; institutional investors (money, fund & portfolio managers), stock brokers, financial advisors and analysts; family offices; retail investors including high net worth individuals; and the media, including writers, journalists, reporters and editors.

We implement a coordinated approach to increasing the outreach to the right relationships by demonstrating corporate execution and business accomplishments. Over time, this approach builds credibility and produces the results management and their shareholders desire by growing a shareholder base of institutional & retail investors.

A successful investor relations program consists of a proactive, direct and comprehensive strategy, all of which ensures exposure among investors. Companies that communicate frequently, forthrightly and thoughfully are rewarded with more loyal shareholders, reduced share price volatility and more rapid appreciation as milestones are achieved. Companies that have sufficient trading volume / liquidity and an established base of institutional investors can typically raise capital for acquisitions within 30 business days.

Importance of Institutional Investors
  • Institutional investment firms, such as traditional investment companies, hedge funds, mutual funds, brokerages, insurance companies, pension funds, family offices and endowement funds, are entities with large amounts of capital to invest.
  • Institutional Investors have a positive effect on the stock price of the companies in which they invest. This effect materializes through different mechanisms; institutional investors reduce information asymmetries between the firm and other investors, contribute to the liquidity of a company stock and improve the company's corporate governance.
