Investor Relations
We support our clients in their dialogue with institutional investors and the financial community. Established relationships with key financial market players and extensive knowledge of market regulations represent the competitive advantage of our IR advisory services. Our advisory services enable us to involve and attract institutional and professional investors in IPOs and in post-listing transactions, contributing to the growth of the stock’s market capitalisation and liquidity.
We achieve this result thanks to 20 years of experience in the Equity Capital Markets. We have developed strategic relationships with a wide and loyal network of national and international investors.
