Tracking the changing trends in targeting domestic and non-domestic investors
IROs typically spend more than twice as much time targeting domestic investors as they do targeting international investors, with a 70/30 ratio on time spent targeting investors from inside and outside their region.
North American IROs spend the most time targeting investors inside their region. This is unsurprising given that North American companies typically have the most heavily domestic shareholder registers. IROs in companies outside of the three main investment regions spend an average of 45 percent of their targeting seeking to attract non-domestic investment.
The proportion of time spent on targeting international investors increases with company size. Small-cap IR professionals spend a fifth of their time targeting investors outside of their region. This rises to 37 percent among mega-cap IROs.
