Why get our bespoke reports?

The report provides one of the richest sources of feedback from investors regarding IR performances of JSE-listed companies. The views come from hard-to-reach investors with considerable market influence which were gathered by our research team over three months. Market feedback is provided confidentially, but we can provide good actionable insights on which of your IR activities are landing appropriately, as well as the overall performance of your company’s IR function.
