Retail Investor Roundup Flash 💡 NIRI: The Association for Investor Relations Annual Legislative Fly-in (September 19 and 20) ✈ Our own Nicole Maselli represented both #Stockperks and NIRI Virtual Chapter in DC last week and reported back: "Last week I was fortunate to join #NIRI in #WashingtonDC for its annual Legislative and Advocacy Fly-In. We met with members of #Congress, senior legislative staff and the #SEC to educate and advocate for policies that are vital to publicly-traded companies, investor relations and the Capital Markets. I was honored to be part of the group that met with Andrew H. , Legislative Director for #Rep Jerry Nadler New York City district. This is an important district located in Manhattan and home to many corporations and financial institutions. During our meetings on Capitol Hill, we discussed the Public Company Advisory Committee Act (H.R. 4652) and the Modernization of Section 13(f) of the Securities Exchange Act. On Friday, we met with the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance. In addition to the aforementioned issues, we covered Climate Change Disclosures, Proxy Advisory Firm Regulation and the Oversight of Proxy Fees. All of these issues can impact the costs that public companies incur. More importantly, all of the topics discussed have an impact on #retailinvestors, either directly or indirectly. While the topics at hand were serious in nature, it reassured me of how great our country is and how change is truly possible. I started each day with a run along the #NationalMall and felt there was no more inspiring way to start the day, seeing the sun rise over the Capitol and was already thinking about next year’s meeting and our ability to legitimately influence change for the better!" #investorrelations #irchat

Loyalty Programs & Retail Investors: The Optimal Intersection 🎁 In our latest white paper, we dive into the significant, but vastly overlooked, overlap of loyalty programs and retail investors. On the one side, loyalty reward programs are a huge driver of customer spending, brand loyalty — and customer acquisition! On the other side, shareholder reward programs are a proven driver of investment, company loyalty — and share support and stability! It is time for publicly traded companies to seriously consider replicating their loyalty and rewards programs for their most loyal buyer persona, their investors. Please read on for a deeper dive into the intersection of customer and shareholder loyalty programs, benefits of setting up a retail investor program, and important considerations for setting one up. https://lnkd.in/eJg3Agf3 #investorrelations #irchat #retailinvestors #loyaltyprograms #rewardsprograms #stakeholderengagement #perks #stockperks

Recently, our CEO Agnies Watson was on a NIRI: The Association for Investor Relations panel discussing practical considerations, reasons and implications for having an active retail investor program for corporates. Some key points: - A good retail investor program should involve the marketing / loyalty / corporate affairs / corporate secretary departments. This shares the load, leverages existing assets and campaigns and, with more organizational buy-in, helps drive success - leverage the company's existing social media presence and skills - tailor communications to where and how your audience consumes it, e.g. "bite size" commentary videos via social media websites and pushed out via a retail investor engagement platforms like Stockperks Thanks again to the NIRI DFW chapter for hosting such a great event and to our own Kenneth Pieper for moderating and Matt (MJ) Joanou for his insights on the panel as well. #retailinvestors #investorrelations #irchat #stockperks #stakeholderengagement

Scott Galloway gets #retailinvestor engagement... 💪 From the Aug 6 Pivot podcast with Kara Swisher: "I think there's a huge opportunity for...CEOs to have very well orchestrated, working with IR & good production people, to put out earnings releases or statements about their earnings on YouTube. I think it's powerful, it's a means of meeting retail investors and I think it signals innovation." Retail investors want engagement with the companies they invest in. Having senior management speak directly to them in non-technical language through digestible video content enhances that relationship, loyalty and long-term investment. Thanks Prof G!

📈 Stock Splits: More big companies focusing on Retail Investors Phil Mackintosh at Nasdaq wrote a piece in 2022 "Stock Splits Save Investors and Issuers" that is still very relevant, as the market has enthusiastically embraced the recent NVIDIA and Chipotle Mexican Grill stock splits. The piece highlights why this is positive to consider for companies with high priced stocks: "One of the most compelling is economics. Research shows that if you can make a stock trade more cheaply, those stocks become more attractive to investors. That broadening of the investor base improves a stock’s valuation and reduces the costs of capital for the issuer. In fact, a study in 2009 found that liquidity improvements following stock splits reduced average companies’ cost of equity capital by 17.3%, or 2.4 percentage points per annum." It is not surprising to see several companies in the Top 20 most widely held stocks on Stockperks split their stocks in recent years to help make it more attainable for #retailinvestors: Alphabet Inc. Amazon.com Apple NVIDIA Tesla Walmart In the past few weeks, Nvidia has jumped in our rankings two spots as a result. We also have seen significant activity in Chipotle with the number of shareholders holding their stock doubling on our platform since the split.
