Incoming Inquiries,
For e.g.

Tactical IR Activities, arising both passively and pro-actively, are routine but essential to superior Investor Relations.

Handling the incoming inquiries from shareholders, potential investors and brokers can, especially when things are progressing well, take all one’s time in a day. So much the better to have CHF be the first line of response and filter them so that only the pertinent messages are passed up to senior management.

This is just one item of what can be categorized as Tactical IR Activities which are routine but essential IR tasks that CHF can handle freeing up time in-house.

Without having all of the above areas in hand, embracing what video has to offer can be counterproductive. All of CHF’s clients are encouraged to embrace video as another route to deliver the Company’s message. Knowing that the costs of which can be prohibitive, CHF can set up “guerilla” filming in our Toronto office and deliver a final 3-minute clip edited with slides for even the most austere of budgets.

In Canada, regulatory filings requirements using SEDAR have made the glossy book-bound annual report a rarity for the small to medium-cap companies, and rightly so. For the majority of these companies, annual report budgets can be spent better elsewhere.

The project of writing and managing the graphic work and publication of a proper corporate Annual Report is a large one, often requiring 100+ hours. While we are pleased to assist with the selection of a graphic designer and proofreading copy for the Annual Report, if called upon to write the text or supervise the designer/ printer we ask for an additional charge. These costs will all be discussed, quoted and approved at the onset of the Annual Report project, and the task(s) may be outsourced by CHF.
