Few companies can afford big IR teams and even fewer can allocate big IR budgets. Yet, with increasing competition for funds in the capital markets, companies cannot afford to ignore IR. As a relatively new profession, there is a significant shortage of experienced IROs across Asia. What Asian companies require are well-trained IROs who are equipped with the proper 'soft skills' for effective financial communications in today's global capital markets from an Asian perspective. IROs are important, but often untapped, information source to help management to better position their companies and improve their investment image. But who can IROs, including CEOs and CFOs, turn to? This course highlights the need for practical and effective training for today's IROs. The 2-day workshop will train IROs to better handle their challenges as important financial communicators. Unlike a large-scale conference, this workshop capacity is deliberately kept to a manageable classroom size to facilitate effective learning and discussion. Presenting our Guest Speaker!
