Overview

This hands-on program is intended for experienced investor relations professionals from across the globe. You will emerge with practical tools that enable you to take your firm's financial communication strategy to the next level. Areas of focus include factors that influence the investment case for your firm, frictions to effective communication, the role of financial numbers in your investment profile, cross-border communication, legal and regulatory issues, and new technologies.

You'll learn and master a framework to understand how investors assess your firm's investment worthiness. This framework is built on practical knowledge and academic research. In addition, you'll explore the impacts of cross-cultural communication, new technology, and the speed at which information moves today. Combined, these experiences will develop the ability in you to act and plan rather than constantly react to the market.

Programming is offered in partnership with the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI).
