Winning investor confidence: how IR teams can anticipate sentiment and drive support

The capital markets are becoming increasingly fragmented. Passive strategies, pass-through voting and evolving stewardship priorities mean that influence is no longer concentrated among a few large holders, and understanding how decisions are made has never been more complex.

At the same time, market volatility and heightened scrutiny around governance, performance and ESG are forcing investors to reassess positions more frequently. Traditional targeting and engagement approaches are no longer enough: IR teams must go deeper to understand not just who owns their stock, but how opinions are formed and where influence truly sits.

In this environment, IR professionals need better tools and sharper insight to anticipate sentiment shifts, identify emerging risks and position management for more effective engagement. The ability to connect share register data with voting behavior, investor priorities and peer benchmarks is becoming a critical advantage.

This webinar will explore how leading IR teams are combining data, technology and strategic insight to build a clearer picture of their investor base. You’ll learn how to identify hidden influencers, interpret voting and engagement signals and prioritize outreach to maximize impact.

• Uncover who is really influencing voting and investment decisions
• Detect early signals of changing investor sentiment
• Align engagement strategies with investor expectations and priorities
• Equip management with the insight needed for more effective conversations
• Strengthen investor support ahead of key events such as AGMs or special situations.
