We are in the process of significantly enhancing the data that is provided through the addition of Refinitiv data. This data will give the investor relations and treasury teams and members of the c-suite a data workflow that will assist them in their roles and give insights that are specifically aimed at public companies initially. Data will include, ESG data, deals intelligence, research and more. This will also be augmented with alerts and front-end functionality. The ambition is to make the platform daily use rather than weekly or monthly use driven by these valuable data insights.Investor Relations ToolsThrough Issuer Services corporates can update their company profile page on This allows them to access millions of unique visitors that visit the company profile pages each month.

We distribute the livestreams through SparkLive and also through to capitalise on our distribution capabilities. We have leveraged Refinitiv distribution through workspace so that presentations are distributed to thousands of institutional buyside firms.

The marketplace comprises 65 members and we are aiming to grow this number to 75 by the end of the year. Each of the members has a personalised profile page that is edited and created by each firm through an individual CMS.
