Hong Kong Investor Relations Association Announces Winners of the 10th IR Awards 2024
The unwavering support of Listed Companies and investors over the last decade

HONG KONG, July 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - The Hong Kong Investor Relations Association (“HKIRA”) today announced the winners of the 10th Investor Relations Awards 2024 (the “IR Awards” or the “Awards”).

In its tenth consecutive year, the Awards recognises and honours investor relations (“IR”) excellence and best practices among Hong Kong listed companies and IR professionals. In the complex global financial and investment environment this year, effective communication between companies and investors has become crucial. The Investor Relations Awards Conference and Awards Ceremony invited experts and professionals in the field to discuss and share their different perspectives on strategies, latest trends, effective processes and best practices in investor relations. HKIRA was particularly honoured to have Dr Kelvin Wong, SBS, JP, Chairman of the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council, as the guest of honour and keynote speaker at the Awards Presentation Ceremony.

The 10th IR Awards 2024 received widespread support from listed companies and the investment community. A total of 120 companies participated in the Awards this year. As in previous years, the winners were first nominated by the public and then selected via online polling by qualified voters among buy-side and sell-side investors. More than 480 investors from over 277 financial institutions voted this year. The continued support demonstrates the recognition the IR Awards enjoys in the investment community. As the importance of investor relations continues to grow in the industry, HKIRA has continued to strive to raise the standard of IR excellence in Hong Kong by optimising the award mechanism to ensure the quality of the awards.

Of all the award categories, “Overall Best IR Company” is the most prestigious, as the winner is selected by the judging panel from among the winners of all the award categories for its overall exemplary performance in investor relations. This year, the winners of Overall Best IR Company by company size – Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap – are China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited, Xtep International Holdings Limited and CGN New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.

Dr Eva Chan, Founding Chairman of HKIRA, said, “The 10th IR Awards held this year is an important milestone for us. It not only acknowledges our efforts over the past decade, but also marks a significant step towards a new phase of development. We are honoured and grateful for the strong support and participation of professionals from various industries. Despite the highly uncertain global capital market conditions, including high inflation, high interest rates, and geopolitical volatility, we are privileged to have the support of regulators and government bodies such as the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Securities and Futures Commission, the Hong Kong Financial Development Council, member companies, investor relations professionals, and friends from the investment community, who have gathered together to share their diverse perspectives on investor relations strategies, latest trends, effective processes, and best practices. We hope this will inspire and drive more companies to achieve excellence in the field of investor relations.

“In the current complex and ever-changing global financial market, listed companies need to actively engage with investors, increase transparency, provide timely and accurate information, and strengthen relationships with various stakeholders. This is vital for the long-term development of companies. The organisation of the Investor Relations Awards not only recognises the efforts in investor relations work over the past year, but also celebrates outstanding practices within the industry, thus contributing to the prosperity and development of the Hong Kong capital market.”

Strategic Public Relations Group is proud to once again be the Official Public Relations Partner and Diamond Sponsor of the HKIRA IR Awards 2024.
