PR Newswire Launches Institutional Investor Network
London (ots/PRNewswire)
- New Service Enables Listed Companies and Their Advisors to Communicate With Analysts and Investors Across Europe
PR Newswire announced today the launch of Investor Network, a new service that delivers company news releases to industry analysts and investors.
Investor Network combines the media reach of PR Newswire with an extensive database of European sell side analysts and institutional investors compiled by Thomson Financial.
The moment a news release is issued via PR Newswire, Investor Network guarantees immediate publication on key market data equity terminals such as Reuters and Bloomberg. In addition the news is sent over Thomson Financial's First Call service, which subsequently parcels the release to those analysts and investors who have indicated an interest in the company. The news release is delivered simultaneously to individual analysts, as well as reaching thousands of websites and online databases relevant to the investment community.
Issuers also have the option to include the distribution of the news to key business media across Europe.
"The partnership with Thomson Financial is a tremendous opportunity to offer companies a unique service that unites media awareness and investor targeting," said Lisa Ashworth, CEO of PR Newswire Europe. "Investors and analysts value highly the communications they receive from the companies they are researching. Investor Network uses multiple channels - both direct and through the media - to ensure that the company's news reaches its target audience, and as such, is the perfect complement to a company's own IR efforts."
The launch of Investor Network extends PR Newswire's role as one of the world's leading advocates for enhancing communication between companies, the investment community and the general public. PR Newswire is recognised as an established, secure outlet for listed companies to meet disclosure regulations in Europe the US and Canada, and provides news distribution services for companies throughout Europe the US, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We also play a critical role in educating the corporate, investor and regulatory communities around the world on issues of disclosure and transparency.
