The EastSide Group's Eli Neusner Reveals Keys to Success in Investor Road Shows
Friday, November 06, 2009
BOSTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Eli Neusner, Managing Director and
Founder of The EastSide Group, recently offered some important recommendations
for companies about to embark on U.S. investor road shows.
"Because of what's happened in the markets over the past year, things have
changed. Institutional investors are much more discriminating and don't have
patience or tolerance for companies who don't have their act together when
they make their investor presentation."
The EastSide Group advises public and private companies on their
communications to investors, and helps their clients develop successful
investor presentations. He recommends that companies take their investor
presentations seriously, and focus on telling investors what they want to hear.
"When I was a investment analyst, I heard so many investor presentations that
talked about how great the company's products, technology, or services were.
But what I really wanted to hear were things like:
-- What's the market opportunity and what is the strategy for exploiting
it?
-- What makes the company different than its competitors?
-- What is the path to profitability?
-- What's management track record in delivering shareholder value?
"The EastSide Group was instrumental in helping us prepare for our
investor day presentation," said Jodi Allen, director of investor relations
for Cytec Industries. "Their expertise was invaluable in terms of presenting
the right messages and developing the appropriate materials."
The EastSide Group also advises companies to be smart about their slide
shows. "Bad visuals can undermine a good presentation. Don't overdo it with
text and bullet points, make one succinct point per slide and use graphs and
charts wisely."
Ultimately, investor presentations are often the primary means by which
companies are judged by the investing public. Neusner adds: "Presentations
don't substitute for excellent fundamentals, but if they're poorly designed
and prepared, they won't help. After all, if you don't have your corporate
story down, and can't articulate it well, then why go through the trouble of
setting up road shows in the first place?"
