In this AGM season edition, David Perry, VEM’s Head of Research, begins by looking at the subject of trading updates at AGMs.

Our feature topic is on retail investors and investor relations tools that allow IROs to better understand their views. We also highlight some neglected aspects of ASX Guidance Note 8 (Continuous Disclosure), as it relates to disclosure generally and disclosure following acquisitions. Continuing our series of interviews with practitioners, we talk to Graeme Bethune, former IRO with oil and gas company, Santos Ltd.

I hope you enjoy this issue of Perceptions.

Mary Beth Bauer,
Managing Director
