From Discount to Fair Value: Telling the Right Story

Hudson Sandler and Impact Boards EM were delighted to invite IBEM members and board directors of emerging-market companies to an exclusive discussion and networking event in London.

The event brought together board directors, investors and capital-markets advisers for an open and practical discussion on the factors that shape how emerging-market companies are perceived and valued by international investors.

Companies that operate in emerging markets face specific challenges when it comes to attracting capital in the public markets. Investors perceive higher risk in markets which they don’t understand or which remain reputationally tarnished by historical issues. Achieving fair equity value requires more than a track record of strong financial performance.

This discussion explored how boards and management teams can mitigate reputational risk and help close the knowledge gap to build trust and ultimately enhance valuation, through conveying good governance, leadership and strategic direction via an effective communications strategy.
