In order to encourage the TWSE listed companies to establish good investor relationships and realize the investors’ requirements through a two-way dialogue and interactive mechanism, the TWSE will host the “2016 Corporate Governance Series: Investor Relations Forum” on April 26, 2016. The TWSE invites the keynote speakers are from listed companies, investment institutions, and investor relations consulting. The main topic of Forum is “Establishing a two-way dialogue with investors so as to achieve sustainable business development”. Through the speakers share their experience and observations, the TWSE hopes the participants could understand the value and importance of investor relations.
The Taiwan investors’ structures have undergone a gradual change. On March 31 of this year, the Market value held by FINI is 37.45%. The growth of FINI in Taiwan has had a significant impact, especially they focus on the corporate governance and ESG topics. It also highlights the importance of investor relations. The TWSE expresses the aim of this Forum is to encourage listed companies rethinking the way of communication with their investors. Furthermore, companies should build and improve the channels of communication between themselves and their investors.
The Forum has three keynote speeches: “How to use investor relations to maximize shareholder value”, “Establishing new perspectives on investor relations to pursue new directions in capital markets”, and “Experience sharing in investor relations management”. The keynote speakers comprise Quantum International Corporation CEO Alex Lee, TECO Electric & Machinery Co. Deputy Director Andy Chien, and Vice President of the Taiwan Business Bank Yi-yun Wang. The round table discussion will include all the previous speakers, as well as TWSE Senior Executive Vice President Lih-chung Chien, discussing the topic “To achieve business sustainability, companies should establish two-way dialogue with their investors”.
The TWSE indicates that active dialogue and interaction between investors and companies has become an international trend. In recent years, Taiwan strongly promotes corporate governance. We believe the communications between companies and investors have become more mature. Companies gradually recognize that they should know their investors and construct the optimal channels of investor communication. In the future, the TWSE will continue to host Investor Relations activities to help the companies boosting the quality of communications between listed companies and investors. We believe that a good Investors Relations could display the value of company in the capital market and realize the company’s vision of business sustainable management.
