Small enterprises do not place enough emphasis on investor relations

According to the findings of a survey conducted by SMU and the Investor Relations Professionals Association (Singapore), small businesses with a market capitalisation of less than $300 million are not doing enough in the area of investor relations. Only 32 per cent of such businesses have staff responsible for investor relations. Among the small businesses which do not have dedicated investor relations staff, more than 20 per cent believe that investor relations is of no use.
