With these new capabilities, IR teams can now discover how a specific institutions’ interest in their organization’s investment narrative is trending over time and how it compares versus sector or market cap peers. This unmatched data provides IROs with the ability to evaluate how targeting efforts and the growth of their investor profiles are being translated into increased levels of institutional awareness, while also helping to uncover untapped investor opportunities.

“Providing our clients with the ability to understand how specific institutional interest in their company is changing over time will be key to determining their next move with confidence,” said Darrell Heaps, Founder and CEO of Q4. “Our deep dive into institutions and their peer engagement will enable clients to find new investor targets and identify early indicators of where an institution’s investment focus might be shifting. With over 1,300 users now on the Q4 Platform, expanding our client’s insight into targeting helps increase their odds of connecting with the right investor, at the right time. Our insights are backed by the strength and reputation of our industry leading proprietary data, which is a key element in strengthening our Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) offerings that are currently in development.”
