| Rivel 5.0 |
|
Over the course of this year, Rivel Research Group has been assembling a cadre of investor relations professionals who excel in various aspects of their profession for a new program called Rivel 5.0, which shines a bright spotlight on excellence in investor relations. Rivel 5.0 encompasses companies and IR professionals who exhibit best-in-class investor relations practices, and perform above and beyond their peers on a variety of IR-specific and company facets. Membership in the group is devoted exclusively to companies that receive a 5.0 or higher (on a 6-point scale) for 17 different categories in Rivel Research Group perception studies. During the 5.0 launch, Rivel interviewed more than 50 of these senior IR executives in which first-person insight was offered into how the most successful IR programs deliver top-notch investor communications. These interviews are invaluable for any IR professional interested in enhancing their own program. In conjunction with this launch, Rivel has created a database offering more than 150 unique entries on various aspects of best practices in investor relations, from subjects such as disclosure and management access to ways to enhance and showcase management credibility and strategy effectiveness, among many others. This program is available to members of the 5.0 group and Rivel's Intelligence Council. |
