Analysts and investors name the Global Top 50 in investor relations

IR Magazine, in partnership with Corbin Perception, is pleased to announce the winners of the Global Top 50 awards, recognizing excellence in investor relations around the world.

In addition to the new Global Top 50 ranking for 2015, winners of four special awards have been announced: best IRO, best IR by a small/mid-cap company, best IR by senior management and most progress in IR. All the results and rankings are listed below.

The Global Top 50, in partnership with Corbin Perception, was calculated based on IR Magazine’s annual surveys of investors and analysts for its awards programs in Brazil, Canada, Europe, Greater China, South East Asia and the US.

The Global Top 50 awards ceremony is part of the three-day Global IR Forum presented by IR Magazine and NIRI, held in New York City on November 16-18. 

‘Congratulations to the award winners, who epitomize best practices in investor relations worldwide,’ said Rebecca Corbin, founder and managing partner of Corbin Perception. ‘We strongly feel that best-in-class IR can deliver premium shareholder value and applaud the recipients for their hard work in engaging investment community professionals throughout the year.’
