Inside Look at LATAM IR
Part II: Professional Backgrounds, Responsibilities and Aspirations
|
This i-advize newsletter is the second installment in a three-part series that takes a closer look at the IR profession --- specifically as it pertains to the Latin American region. Our main goal with this particular study was to identify key IR demographics in the region that would enable issuers to better understand the professional backgrounds, responsibilities and aspirations of their peers.
Earlier in August, i-advize sent out a survey entitled "IR Demographic and Compensation Study". While the survey responses are not all in yet, we did obtain a preliminary overview of the composition of investor relations teams in certain developed markets. All in all, over 80 IR professionals in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Peru answered pointed questions about their professional experience, their day-to-day functions, as well as their aspirations for the future. In this report, we will be sharing some of these results with you.

On October 1, 2017, i-advize Corporate Communications and its employees made a substantial donation to the Fundación Carlos Slim, in conjunction with Fundacion Telmex Telcel, in support of those affected by the earthquake that took place in September. i-advize has always had a very close relationship with the Mexican market and our goal is to stand with our clients in the bad times as well as the good times. We selected this particular donation channel because its promise is to deliver 5x the amount donated to the cause. Fuerza Mexico.

This past September, the i-advize team, comprised of Managing Director, Maria Barona and Vice President, Rafael Borja, visited the corporate offices of Altos Hornos de Mexico, more commonly referred to as AHMSA, a Mexican steel producer located in the town of Monclova, Coahuila. The purpose of the visit was to train the new and improved investor relations team on current IR trends and practices. The visit also included a tour to the fiery, steel ovens and processing areas as well as to several of the plant units found in the vast properties allocated to steel production in the city of Monclova.
This year, AHMSA celebrates its 75-year anniversary, marked by a renewed sense of company purpose. We are happy to welcome AHMSA into our growing family of clients.
