• Investor Relations (IR) is a strategic management responsibility that integrates finance, communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable the most effective two‐
way communication between a company, the financial community, and other constituencies,
which ultimately contributes to a company's securities achieving fair valuation. (Adopted by
the NIRI Board of Directors, March 2003.) The term describes the department of a company
devoted to handling inquiries from shareholders and investors, as well as others who might be interested in a company's stock or financial stability.
• Typically investor relations is a department or person reporting to the Chief Financial Officer or
Treasurer. In some companies, investor relations is managed by the public relations or
corporate communications departments, and can also be referred to as "financial public
relations" or "financial communications". Investor relations is considered a specialty of public relations by the U.S. Department of Labor. [1]
• Many larger publicly‐traded companies now have dedicated IR officers (IROs), who oversee
most aspects of shareholder meetings, press conferences, private meetings with investors,
(known as "one‐on‐one" briefings), investor relations sections of company websites, and
The investor relations function also
often includes the transmission of information relating to intangible values such as the company's
policy on corporate governance or corporate social
responsibility.
company annual reports.
• The investor relations function must be aware of current and upcoming issues that an
organization or issuer may face, particularly those that relate to fiduciary duty and organizational impact. In particular, it must be able to assess the various patterns of
stock‐trading that a public company may experience, often as the result of a public
disclosure (or any research reports issued by financial analysts
• While most IROs would report to the Chief Financial Officer, they will usually also
have access to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman or President of the
corporation. This means that as well as being able to understand and communicate the company's financial strategy, they are also able to communicate the broader
strategic direction of the corporation and ensure that the image of the corporation is
maintained in a cohesive fashion.
• Due to the potential impact of legal liability claims awarded by courts, and the
consequential impact on the company's share price, IR often has a role in crisis management of, for example, corporate downsizing, changes in management or
internal structure, product liability issues and industrial disasters.
• In a difficult time such as the bear market of 2008‐09, IROs will want to stay visible
and build relationships, be factual in tone and not too quick to make promises, focus
on the long‐term story and balance sheet strength (as opposed to short‐term earnings growth), aggressively refute rumors and answer concerns of investors, and
coordinate media relations and investor communications. Finally, IROs should
remember: “The story is the business, not the stock price.” [2]
• The most highly‐regarded professional member organization for Investor Relations in
the United States is the National Investor Relations Institute, or NIRI. In the United Kingdom, the recognized industry body is The Investor Relations Society, while in
Canada, the professional association is called the Canadian Investor Relations
Institute, or CIRI. Australia's professional organization is known as the Australian
Investor Relations Association (AIRA).
