Capital Markets and Investor Relations

Investor relations objectives – our equity value optimisation process

Compliance with legal requirements and the provision of comprehensive, fair information to all relevant stakeholders is an important function of investor relations. However, the role of investor relations goes far beyond this.

It even has a high strategic and vital importance for corporate strategy: Enabling your company to be ready at any time to raise liquid funds at optimised capital costs.

Optimised capital costs have two sides. The higher a company's valuation, the easier and more efficient it is to raise equity capital and fend off hostile takeovers. In addition, a sensible mix of equity and debt capital can help optimise capital costs.

With our Equity Value Creation Optimisation process, we can align your investor relations accordingly and coordinate the processes involved.

Perspective check and perception study

How do investors, analysts and banks view your company? Do the investors relevant to your company know you personally, your company and your investment case? In addition, the company's view of itself often differs from the perspective of outsiders. A comprehensive analysis of the external point of views helps to sharpen the equity story and capital market communication and contributes to increasing the value of the company. With our network, we can quickly grasp the views of investors from the outside and integrate the results into the capital markets strategy.

Valuation analyses and peer group studies

In addition to providing stakeholders with fair and transparent information about your company's affairs, it is important to use effective language to develop your company towards a fair enterprise value. What is your idea of the fair value of your company? Valuation analyses are one of our core competencies. We evaluate your company based on various models, key figures and several scenarios. The importance of ESG – environmental, social and governance issues – is quickly underestimated. For companies, they have an impact in three areas. Firstly, companies are required by law to collect and evaluate many ESG key figures. Secondly, many companies are obliged to publish an ESG report. The requirements for this are constantly increasing. Thirdly, ESG issues have an impact on the strategy and operational business of companies. Many banks, for example, require certain ESG criteria to be met before granting loans. Due to environmental regulations, certain business activities are increasingly becoming uninsurable. Many institutions look at companies' ESG performance and take this into account in their investment decisions. We can analyse the status of your ESG and, if necessary, develop a roadmap to further develop your ESG in the three relevant areas.
