Did You Know...

...that according to the buy-side, investor relations can have as much as a 25% impact on a company’s valuation? In our most recent study of the buy-side, we uncovered that portfolio managers and buy-side analysts attribute a premium of 10% of a company’s valuation to good investor communications and a discount of 15% to bad investor communications.

Associate Client Program

Since its inception in 1991, Rivel Research Group has completed over 1,000 research projects with the primary goal of helping companies make better communications decisions as it relates to the global investment community. These projects have yielded a tremendous amount of data that has allowed us to establish a knowledge base that can be leveraged to create custom analyses on topics considered important to our clients. Over the past several years, we have also launched several large scale studies (known as our Perspectives Series) among the US buy-side, European buy-side, the US sell-side, and US investor relations officers and CEOs. Until now, this knowledge base has only been made available to our custom research clients. However, we have introduced a program to make this research available on a larger scale. This new service allows companies who may not have the budget for custom perception studies and other large scale research projects to avail themselves of this data. We have called it the Rivel Associate Client Program. What does it entail?

Deliverables:

  • Delivery of two new "Perspectives" reports annually. *Current study in series: Perspectives on Investor Communications 2008. An update to our landmark 2005 study on IR best practices. This study will be published in December.
  • Access to webcast for each "Perspectives" study to discuss the results.
  • Delivery of all previous "Perspectives" series reports.
  • Corporate Priorities: Insights from the Rivel Database of Investment Community Opinion. We will deliver topical white papers on a monthly basis.

Some of the potential Perspectives studies Rivel will be exploring with the Associate Client Program (will be driven by demand for the topic):

  • Perspectives on Hedge Funds (update to the 2006 study)
  • Perspectives from the CFO
  • Perspectives from Asia

Pricing:

Given that this service is designed for those companies with limited budgets, we decided to offer this program at a low quarterly rate. The price is $950, which can be canceled at any time.
