The HKIRA Investor Relations Awards aim to recognise those listed companies that uphold a high standard of investor relations and compliance in Hong Kong. The judging panel comprises leading academics, international industry professionals, investors and financial reporting experts. The “Overall Best IR Company” is the most prestigious, as it is selected among winners of all the award categories by the Judging Panel to honour companies which demonstrate outstanding and all-round excellence in their IR efforts.

One of Link’s awards is the new award category of Best IR Team, which was introduced this year to honour outstanding IR teams most devoted to meeting investors’ targets. Since the launch of the Awards in 2015, Link has won numerous accolades in recognition of the strong corporate governance, high transparency and continuous commitment to best practice by Link’s senior management and staff. 

Eric Yau, Chief Strategy Officer of Link Asset Management Limited, said, “Link has always considered investor relations as a top priority. Apart from attending investor conferences, we have regular meetings with investors and analysts around the globe. In January 2019, we had our Investor Day in Shenzhen, where we shared our financial and non-financial performance with investors. Participants also paid a visit to CentralWalk, our first acquisition in Shenzhen, and gained better understanding of our corporate strategy.”

“Link aims to deliver long-term sustainable returns to our unitholders. Additionally, we continuously communicate with our stakeholders to maintain a high degree of transparency and strong corporate governance,” Yau added.
