Maximizing your relationship with the buy side, plus where to take your investor roadshow

About this episode

The episode discusses maximizing relationships with the buy side and strategies for investor roadshows.

Making the most of your relationships with the buy side can often be the key to a successful relationship between your company and its investors. But how can you ensure that you're getting the most out of that arrangement? In IR Impact's first Masterclass video, we spoke to Stephen Yiu, fund manager and co-founder of the Blue Whale Growth Fund, about what he sees as the hallmarks of best-in-class IR and how he prefers to interact with companies. Listen to this episode of IR Voice for an exclusive sneak peek of the full interview . We also hear from Naji Beydoun, IR director at Innergex, about how he approaches investor roadshows following on from the recent publication of the Global Roadshow Report 2025 , which details how IR teams are managing their roadshow schedules. Baydoun also reveals, as a resident Canadian, how IR teams can make the most out of visiting the country.
