HKEX won a total of six awards in the HKIRA 2nd Investor Relations Awards Conference & Presentation Luncheon yesterday.
In the keynote speech, HKEX CEO Charles Li said investor relations has entered a new era. Previously, IR professionals helped break down barriers between Mainland companies and overseas institutional investors in terms of language and corporate culture. But now, this new era means they also need to bridge the massive differences between the international investor community and Mainland retail investors.
The Hong Kong Investor Relations Association (HKIRA) recognises and honours the excellence and best practices in investor relations among Hong Kong listed companies and professionals.
Below is the haul of awards picked up by HKEX:
Overall Best IR Company – Large Cap
