Responsibilities & role before IR
When analyzing data from the last global IR survey on the additional responsibilities IROs have, it is clear that more IROs at mid-cap companies have additional corporate communications and PR responsibilities, while marginally more small-cap IROs have responsibility for corporate strategy. The number of team members with no additional responsibilities outside of IR increases with company size.
More small-cap and fewer mid-cap IROs have a background in corporate communications, while fewer small-cap IROs have a background in other corporate roles. A higher number of mid-cap IROs come from a capital markets background.
