Analytical Capabilities

The Investor Update Advisory Offering has been built on the powerful foundation of the analytical capabilities of the core shareholder intelligence business. Our expertise covers all aspects of strategic, investment and ESG pillars, often combining all three depending on the priorities of the client.

How it works

An initial consultation explores the reasons for engagement and clarity on the purpose and goals of the project.
From the outset, we agree a clear definition of what success will look like and a time line of delivery for each component.
All analytical elements of the projects are conducted by our team of experienced consultants in our London-based offices.
Close coordination with the commissioning client ensures accurate, timely and insightful project delivery.
All findings and recommendations are shared through IR-Hub, board-level reports and presentations to senior management.
Our advisory work takes a partnership approach, often through a retainer-based structure for continuity of support and service provision.
