Topic: Capital Market 411 for Today’s IRO
Everything we thought we knew about the capital markets has drastically changed over the last ten years. We’ll focus on how your stock really trades, and drill down to what brought about these changes in market structure and what it all means to the practice of investor relations. By the end of this event, you’ll leave as a more powerful IRO.
- Learning Objectives:Learn about important trends, such as electronic trading, dark pools and high frequency trading
- Learn about the causes of market volatility today
- The migration from an “investor market” to a “trading market” and what this means for investor relations programs
- Various sources of information on how stocks are traded
