Public companies, telling your story to Active investors who have more outflows than inflows won't drive shareholder-value
Passive money drives shareholder value now. And Passive money buys characteristics, not story, and seeks the absence of volatility. We’ll help you:
“I believe a well-informed IRO should understand the valuable information embedded in stock trading activity. Understanding the underlying demographics that drive stock price movements has been a huge “a-ha moment” for our IR and management teams. Realizing that Active Investment is a rather small component of overall pricing is a valuable insight. We receive daily reports to consistently measure market behaviors and see how they change over time. ModernIR has also helped us in the planning process as we are better able to determine next steps and what upcoming Investor actions might be. With ModernIR, we are no longer operating in the dark.”
Alicia Charity - Ameriprise Financial, Inc (AMP)Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
“Corporate executives, investor relations professionals and the institutional investment community are aware of high frequency trading, passive investment products, quantitative trading models, etc. But I have found that most people don’t appreciate the magnitude that these trading constituents and changing market structure have on stock prices – even the buyside! ModernIR has given me the data and ability to understand how these dynamics impact our stock price and the market, which allows me to better communicate market intelligence to our executive team and our investors.”
Kip Rupp - Quanta Services (PWR)Vice President, Investor Relations
“In today’s constantly changing capital markets, I have found ModernIR’s unique perspectives and services – like its knowledge of how market structure impacts prices and ability to extract information from trading data – to be useful, actionable, and of increasing importance. As a client for many years, I particularly appreciate and value how ModernIR continues to evolve and expand its offering set – like its pre-earnings assessment, post-earnings impact studies, and assistance with calendar planning considerations.”
Andy Schulz - RE/MAX (RMAX)Senior Vice President, Investor Relations

Analytics and expertise to help investor relations teams, executives and Boards drive shareholder-value in quantitative markets
Quantitative Equity Intelligence
Know why your stock price moves by understanding market structure and the behavior of money in your shares, including the demographics of your trading volume. Have data to support why your stock fell when you released good news or why you underperform your peers. Understand your stock’s Passive characteristics, and how Demand and Supply change over time.
Activism Monitoring

Earnings Cycle Analytics
Avoid macro market events like expirations and understand market behavior in your shares to increase impact of your news and earnings. Leverage your stock’s Passive characteristics via keywords in heading, subheading, CEO quote, release text. Track market behavior before and after news. Message to machines that set most prices by understanding risks in your Demand/Supply balance beforehand. And match product (your stock) to consumers (Passives).
Deal Arbitrage Monitoring
Measure how hedge funds are betting and what the prospects are for regulatory and shareholder approval of your M&A.
Buyback Analytics
Coordinate with Treasury so you don’t compete with yourself in your buyback, have a defensible position under new SEC regulations, and understand whether your broker is doing a good job, all with our rules-based quantitative model.

How Can Our Services Help You in Your IR Job?
Actionable data for a passive market
Shareholder-value today is largely determined by Passive money and driven by your stock’s characteristics. We offer a systematic process for
accentuating characteristics and controlling the controllables.
A path for success in investor relations
Outperforming the market today is nearly impossible, yet giving the money what it wants to buy is relatively straightforward. We help you understand what the money is doing, and how to position your company in front of it.
Data that defends your exectutive team
Few things frustrate the c-suite more than executing on the business plan and seeing the stock slide. We slice data demographically to sort Active
Investment from other behaviors – which often show that Story doesn’t cause declines.
Rules-based repurchase data framework
ModernIR offers a quantitative model that brings objectivity to buybacks – an essential advantage when deploying shareholder capital.
Powerful data analytics for activism, deals
You can hide positions in derivatives, but you can’t hide derivatives patterns, and we track them nearly in real-time.
The strategic advantage
A new strategy for reporting earnings in markets dominated by machines and quants.

“Words of wisdom? Trading volume outside of Active buy-and-hold is not noise. It’s what the money is doing now. Passives and Quants buy your stock’s characteristics, not your story. It’s the job of the investor relations officer to control the controllables in this market, to drive shareholder value.”
