Investor Perception Study ‒ US 2014

The IR Magazine Investor Perception Study – US 2014 is the most thorough study of the IR industry in the US ever produced. 700 buy-side and sell-side analysts and portfolio managers participated in surveys and interviews to identify the best current exponents of IR and to analyse their success and best practices. The resulting 124-page report uses charts, infographics, photos and illustrations to provide analysis and insight into the IR industry in the US as surveyed from the investment and IR communities.
