Divided into three complementary parts-The Investor Universe, Compliance and Disclosure, and Corporate Practices-this comprehensive book guides you through the process of business life after the initial public offering. You'll gain a firm understanding of the organizations, institutions, mechanics, and behavior of capital markets from the authors' discussions about portfolio managers, institutional investors, and regulations. SEC Regulation FD is discussed in several chapters. Investor Relations for the Emerging Companyalso serves as a procedural guide to the what, how, and when of reporting and disclosure, by focusing on how best to implement compliance. Rounding out this extensively researched and practical guide to investor relations is a detailed description of how to operate an effective investor relations program within your company's budgetary constraints-from setting up an investor relations department to best practices for news releases, conference calls, and presentations.
