Global IR Survey by BNY Mellon

Click this image to launch the survey.

2011 has been a turbulent year for the global markets with political volatility in the Middle East, European Union financial crisis, and continuing economic uncertainty in the U.S. Issuers around the world face ever-increasing challenges to obtaining their optimal valuation. Strong investor relations (IR) departments that communicate their story are integral to overcoming these challenges. As you will see from our results, companies are reacting by putting more focus on IR, growing IR departments and increasing IR salaries.

This study, BNY Mellon Depositary Receipts’ Seventh Annual Survey of Global Investor Relations Trends—takes an in-depth look at companies’ areas of concentration and analyzes how they’re allocating their IR resources. Our sample includes companies from around the globe, and we’ve seen a 75% increase in respondents over the 2010 survey. This year we have 650 companies represented.

We are unique among our peers for the depth of our study of investor relations. BNY Mellon remains committed to servicing our global clients and powering their investment success. This survey is an important tool in our efforts to bring intelligence and transparency to what matters most to our clients. It covers:

  • Goals and priorities of IR departments
  • Scope and frequency of IR outreach activities
  • Internal and external resources available to IR departments
  • Impact of the latest capital markets developments on the IR function

BNY Mellon has been at the forefront of promoting the importance of global IR. We were the first depositary bank to develop an IR advisory group for our DR issuer clients. That group, the Global Investor Relations Advisory team – that began this survey seven years ago – now has specialists in New York, London and Hong Kong.

We look forward to speaking with you about how your IR program compares to those of your peers and what new approaches you can take. Please contact your BNY Mellon Depositary Receipts Relationship Manager or a member of our Global Investor Relations Advisory team to discuss new ideas.

We thank the ME-IR Society for contributing to the success of this survey.
