The concept comprises all measures and decisions aimed at maintaining productive relations with existing stockholders and attracting new potential equity providers. They center on a comprehensive, consistent and timely exchange of information between the company and the financial markets. Important investor relations tools include investor conferences, corporate presentations to analysts and investors in the world's major financial centers ("road shows"), presentations on specialist topics or R&D, visits to the company by investors, one-on-one discussions with them and an IR website customized to the needs of the financial community.
