Financial communication

Trust and transparency. That is what financial communication is all about, especially when major interests are at stake, such as mergers, takeovers, or an IPO. Hague supports organisations with their ‘equity story’ to attract and keep committed investors.

Investors want to know if the deal is in line with the company strategy, analysts want to know the profit per share contribution, and journalists may focus on how changes will affect jobs. Apart from the audiences interested in the finances, other stakeholders have become more important too. We are moving from shareholder valueto stakeholder value.. The interests of other stakeholders cannot be set aside when the objective is value creation. In fact, long-term value creation is impossible when the interests of employees, suppliers, and clients are ignored. For that reason, financial communication is a very important topic for every company.

Stakeholder value

The company’s management needs to shift its focus from short-term to long-term thinking. The leitmotiv should not be the impending IPO but a long-term horizon of the coming years. It’s complex but certainly doable. We have worked with several corporate enterprises that managed to successfully merge shareholders and stakeholders’ interests.

Hague has already advised a number of (prospective) listed companies on how to communicate with financial stakeholders. Hague will help you set up a credible investor relations and financial communications policy. Not only because the stock market regulations stipulate this but, most of all, because you want to present your story successfully.

Our financial communication services include: M&A transactions, financial PR, investor relations, IPO, litigation.
