ADVFN and Edison partner to provide complete global IR solution for issuers

- enhanced IR content, amplification, distribution and investor engagement -

ADVFN and Edison have joined forces to create investor relations packages that target both institutional and private investors and deliver an unparalleled distribution network.

Edison - the leading research and investor relations consultancy - is providing a suite of equity insight products and IR assets for listed companies, which will be disseminated across ADVFN's group of websites. As well as being promoted to ADVFN's 3.1 million monthly retail users, the content will feature on Edison's website and be distributed to its channel of 60-plus investor content platforms, including Bloomberg, Refinitiv and S&P.

The Accent and Apex packages enable companies to engage directly with a community of astute investors and communicate the full story of the intellectual capital of their business and its investment potential. Accent incorporates Edison's QuickViews product, a digital one-pager that delivers instant insight into a company providing a description of the business, the underlying investment case and the reasons to be a bull or a bear. Accent also includes a slot on EdisonTV, which showcases the equity profile of the company in question and presents insights from Edison's analysts and other investment professionals. The Apex offering additionally includes a premium product: a thematic report or webinar.

· Thematic reports - these provide insights into emerging trends from across the investment spectrum and contextualise companies within them in order to reach an even broader base of investors. 

· Webinars - the online webinars, which are recorded by Edison and distributed globally, highlight a company's investment cases in light of the topical global trends piquing investor interest.

"This ADVFN/Edison collaboration in combining premium IR content with exceptional distribution to a targeted audience will help provide issuers with the exposure and ultimately the liquidity of share price [i] that is often only achievable for mega cap companies," said Matthew Collom, Sales Director of ADVFN.

Neil Shah, Managing Director of Content, Edison Group: "Edison has long been a stalwart advocate for democratising research to all investors. Partnering with ADVFN is a natural extension of that approach - it means we can distribute more of our market-leading research to a larger number of retail investors. Which in turn means better informed decisions are taken and the equity market becomes more efficient."
