If you’ve caught up on emails, scrolled through social media, and read the free newspaper on the bus/ train/ tube, here are seven sites you could browse (after this one, of course) before you play games on your phone.
This is US focussed but the themes and topics are equally relevant for UK based IR professionals. They also have great alerts you can sign up for.
This is the industry body in UK and has an invaluable depth of knowledge and content. Some of it is restricted to members only, but there are loads of articles and webinars that are open to all.
3. http://blog.investorrelations.com/blog
Slightly masquerading as a US professional body, this is a well-established advisory firm blog (Sharon Merrill Associates) has great general content.
4. https://www.phoenix-ir.com/blog/
This US investor relations advisory firm blogs regularly with great technical content.
Beyond the four IR specific content sites, the following sites should be on your desktop icons/ bookmarks bar or whatever system you use for speedy access.
5. http://m.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/mobile/rns/search.html
RNS stands for “regulatory news service”. This newsfeed gives a live stream of announcements. It’s very useful for double/ triple checking your own announcements are public if you don’t have a Bloomberg/ Reuter’s screen on your desk.
6 http://www.reuters.com/finance/deals/mergers And http://uk.reuters.com/business/deals/ipos
Maybe not relevant to all IROs but there is great information on deals and IPOs.
7. https://www.sharecast.com/uk_shares/director_dealings
Maybe not relevant to the day-to-day IR tasks, but many investors track director trading activity so this is a useful compilation site to be aware of.
Hopefully you’ll find some interesting content. Don’t miss your bus stop!
