the 8th Investor Relations Awards Presentation Ceremony |
In its eighth consecutive year, the IR Awards recognises and honours investor relations (IR) excellence and best practices among Hong Kong listed companies and IR professionals. With the COVID-19 pandemic gradually easing, physical events have started to resume. This year's IR Awards Conference and Awards Presentation Ceremony took a hybrid mode, with IR experts and professionals invited to join discussions sharing their different perspectives on strategies, latest trends, effective processes and best practices of investor relations. HKIRA was particularly honoured to have Mr Christopher Hui, GBS, JP, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, as the guest of honour and keynote speaker at the Awards Presentation Ceremony.
The 8th IR Awards 2022 had widespread support from listed companies and the investment sector. There were a total of 152 company nominees in the Awards this year, reflective of a growing awareness of the importance of investor relations. As in previous years, the award winners were first nominated by the public, then selected via online polling by qualified voters among buy-side and sell-side investors. More than 790 investors from over 290 financial institutions voted this year. The continued support is proof of the recognition the IR Awards enjoys in the investor community. With investor relations gaining emphasis in the industry, HKIRA has kept striving to enhance the standard of IR excellence in Hong Kong by optimising the award mechanism to make sure of the quality of the awards.
Of all the award categories, "Overall Best IR Company" is the most prestigious as the winner is selected by the judging panel among the winners of all the award categories for demonstrating all-round exemplary performance in investor relations. This year, the winners of Overall Best IR Company by company size - Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap - are China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited; Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Limited; and Sa Sa International Holdings Limited respectively.
Dr Eva Chan, Founding Chairman of HKIRA, said, "We are very happy to be able to meet all of you in person again at this year's event, in this gathering of our member companies, IROs and friends from the investment community. In this post-pandemic new normal, the event again took the 'hybrid' mode, with the conference and award ceremony streaming live online so a wider audience could join. I would like to express my gratitude to the different participating parties and their assistance in helping us prepare for the event.
"In the past year, the mainland government tightened policies on specific sectors like Education, Real Estate, IT, among others, which negatively affected the business and share prices of some listed companies. As a result, the number of participating companies for the IR Award this year is 10% lower than the previous year. To uphold the standard of the IR Award, the panel judge has decided to reduce the number of awards this year. With travel restricted between China and Hong Kong, investors have relied heavily on IROs in the two places for latest information to help them plan investment strategies and make decisions wisely, hence they are requiring listed companies to be more proactive and effective in disclosing information. IROs have thus become a crucial information portal and a major bridge for companies to interact with investors, helping listed companies to connect with local and global investors and analysts under the new normal."
Strategic Public Relations Group is again proud to be the Official Public Relations Partner and Diamond Sponsor of HKIRA IR Awards 2022.
