Every two years, the Australasian Investor Relations Association (AIRA) conducts a detailed survey of investor relations practices, preferences and trends. In April / May 2012, investor relations practitioners representing all industry sectors and working in ASX 200 listed
entities were invited to participate in an online questionnaire. This year 60 responses were received from companies representing entities from Australia and New Zealand listed on
the Australian Securities Exchange. As in previous years, the research sought to identify the factors influencing the role played by investor relations.

This study is conducted by the Australasian Investor Relations Association (AIRA) to provide insights for investor relations practitioners and their colleagues in publicly listed companies about job scopes, remuneration practices and trends.

AIRA, together with a number of related global organisations representing investor relations professionals, have undertaken perception research to ascertain the perceived impact of investor relations on the valuation of equities.

The recognition of the importance of investor relations activities is seen in the results of the AIRA IR Intentions Survey for 2010, the majority of IR practitioner respondents intend to allocate more time to IR activities this year. Listed Entities are making developments to IR programmes in 2010, with numerous respondents stating the addition of new activities including investor days, strategy updates and site tours.

The purpose of the study is to provide insights for investor relations practitioners and their colleagues in publicly listed companies, about job scopes, remuneration practices and trends. The study provides data for: • Benchmarking remuneration • Identifying factors important to recruiting IR practitioners; and • Managing IR practitioners and IR teams.

With Corporations Act changes regarding the reduced time in which a company must report following half year or full year end now in force, AIRA conducted a snap poll of its members and IRO's from the top 300 companies to ascertain what impact the shortened reporting period had on reporting company results.

Despite the reported high levels of retail share ownership in Australia, surprisingly little is known about the composition of share ownership and how this composition differs across different types of stocks and different industries. To date, knowledge of share ownership and trends in ownership have been restricted to the information provided in the ASX Share Ownership Survey.

This study has been designed to uncover the information needs of institutional investors and broking analysts, to help our members better understand the impact of communication with analysts on a company’s rating and to identify the most effective sources of communication between listed company’s and analysts.

This Survey has been designed to look at the role of IR in terms of position within the company and the way in which IROs communicate with the market in order to obtain a good understanding of current IR practice in Australasia. This survey replaces the existing survey on IR Practices which was last conducted in 2002. As this is the first year the survey has followed this format, trends have been compared against expectations rather than against previous results.

To assist the AIRA Board to determine how the Association can best help members, we conducted an online survey of members to canvass their views about the issues and challenges that investor relations professionals face. We also invited members to express their ideas for the next stage of AIRA's development.

The survey was designed to find out how investor relations is practiced in Australia and New Zealand in 2002; uncover trends in investor relations practices; and ascertain how practitioners are using technology to facilitate IR.

The results of this survey are designed to paint a clear picture of the typical investor relations officer and the nature of the investor relations industry in 2002.
