Financial Communications

The target groups for financial communication are both important and demanding, and increasingly international – and both the capital markets and the authorities are making ever greater demands for information.

Reliance provides strategic financial communications advice to public and private companies across a range of sectors based on our deep understanding of the relevant key stakeholders, and on trusted relationships with financial audiences. The advisers of Reliance have professional backgrounds from working as financial journalists, head of investor relations, senior equity analysts, and senior investment bankers. We advise companies on all aspects of their engagements with the financial media and capital markets – from financial reporting, M&A, IPOs and fundraisings to corporate profile-raising activities, and reputation management.

At Reliance, we work with clients to get their messages effectively across, including in connection with transactions. We help our clients navigate in a complex field where the potential risks and benefits are high – and where companies rarely get a second chance to make a good first impression.

Our areas of advice and expertise include:

  • Corporate profile-raising
  • Defense & activist situations
  • Financial media relations
  • Full financial calendar support
  • Fund/capital raising
  • IPO, M&A, ECM & DCM transactions
  • Management presentation rehearsals
  • Market positioning
  • Pre-exit communications (e.g. for PE-owned and VC-owned portfolio companies)
  • Relations with analysts & investors
  • Reputation management
