Chapter 10 investor relations I nvestors are pivotal threads that hold the fabric of an organization together. Their con ! dence, trust, and ! nancial support can propel a company to greater heights or send it tumbling into uncertainty.
Investor Relations [IR] is a multifaceted function that revolves around the communication and interaction between a company and its investors. These investors include both individual shareholders and entities such as mutual funds and hedge funds. Investors want to know that the company's leadership is steering the ship in the right direction, managing risks e $ ectively, and working diligently to maximize shareholder value. This assurance, or lack thereof, directly impacts a company's stock price, access to capital, and long-term sustainability. While IR is often associated with investor relations teams and CFOs, EAs serve as the bridge between senior leaders and the IR function, helping to shape investor perceptions and facilitating a strong relationship. IR is a year-round endeavor, with quarterly earnings calls, annual meetings, and various other engagements.
