Face-to-face is key
The most effective way to understand how investors are thinking is through face-to-face meetings with investors. This is the reason the key focus of our service is to take clients to meet international investors directly in their offices overseas.

A two-way exchange
The ideal meeting in our view is a two-way exchange of information, not a one-way presentation. In this way companies have the opportunity to hear the views of investment professionals.

European Feed-Back Program
We call our meetings service a "Feed-Back Program" because it allows companies to hear the views of fund managers in a concentrated period of time, from a variety of capital markets, and therefore a variety of perspectives. Through it, ACA's clients can gain better insight into what will encourage investors to increase the ownership of their company's stock.

London Service
London is the largest centre for international fund management in the world and the focus of our European Feedback Program. ACA has numerous personal ties with international fund managers in London, which enables us to arrange effective meetings and surveys for our clients.

Improve and refine client IR
ACA offers follow-up services to help companies improve their IR programs on their return to Japan based on insights from meetings.

Maintain contact with investors
An important aspect of ACA's follow up service is to ensure that overseas investors are kept in touch about the client company after the company returns to Japan. If appropriate, ACA can also assist the client company to communicate information gained from the visit to the wider investment community through such means as sell-side analyst contacts, news media, email, and the company's Web site.
