Introduction
>>An IPO is a journey into uncharted waters. Management is expected to tell a compelling, yet succinct story about...
their company, its advantages and opportunities in 20 minutes or less. With so much at stake, a run of the mill presentation, clichéd messages and mediocre presentation skills simply will not do. For more than two decades, we’ve helped private companies make a smooth transition to capital markets.
In our role as roadshow consultants, we use our expertise to:
- Craft an investor presentation that sells
- Coach executives on how to win over new public shareholders
- Develop corporate brands and collaterals
- Manage the logistical details associated with cross country and cross continent investor meetings.
And in our role as capital market communications advisors, we help companies following their IPOs to establish capital market communications plans, strategies and program
that sustain interest and protect management credibility in year one and well beyond.
Pre - IPO Services
>>In a study of newly-public companies, Ernst & Young found that private businesses that behave like public companies...
well in advance of their IPO by revamping incentive compensation plans, strengthening their internal management teams and board composition, implementing financial accounting and control systems and executing strategic communications programs – consistently exceed overall market returns in the three year period following listing.
From our experience, we can attest to the results of this study. By working with private companies well in advance of their IPOs, we can shape and refine communications strategies and tools – including the corporate website to ensure they are investor-ready, build media profile and help employees understand the obligations and rules that come with being a public issuer.
Post - IPO Services
>>A successful IPO is only the first stage in communicating with the capital markets. Once public, the challenge will be to...
maintain investor interest and protect management credibility. This requires the launch of a proactive capital market communications program to coincide with the listing ceremony. As part of our post-IPO services, we help newly-listed companies adopt
best practice disclosure policies, report their interim financial results, use their websites effectively and engage with the analyst, investor and financial media communities in a way that builds confidence and manages expectations.
