The capital markets
are complex.
Being public raises
difficult questions.
- “How do we make our company stand out?”
- ”How do we keep expectations in line?”
- “How do we attract the right investors?”

We’ve seen what works …
and what doesn’t.
Our programs help our clients
- raise their profiles in the investment community,
- set and manage expectations effectively, and

Our Approach
Investors have a growing universe of choices.
Fund managers are under increasing pressure to find alpha while minimizing risk.
You need to stand out and your story needs to be clearly articulated. How will you create value and why is it sustainable?
High-quality investor relations can change the way your company is perceived and valued.
“How will you create value and why is it sustainable?”

Accessible
Availability in good times and tough times
Quarterly non-deal roadshows
High-value investor events
Responsiveness and high service level
Compelling
Tell a story to promote recall

Our People
Experience
Unlike a typical consulting firm, LodeRock was founded with the belief we could achieve better outcomes by having senior practitioners managing all clients directly and limiting the number of companies we represent.
Perspective
We’ve assembled Canada’s most experienced capital markets communication team, comprised of senior professionals from investor relations, equity research, and investment management. This combination of backgrounds allows us to bring a diverse perspective and unique insights to each client engagement.
Why LodeRock
Experience
Experience informs advice. We are the most experienced team of capital markets communicators in Canada. Our principals have 15+ years each in investor relations and/or the capital markets, including equity research and portfolio management. We have seen it all, from missed guidance to hostile takeovers.
Influence
If you want to influence the way your company is viewed and valued, open and regular dialogue with the investment community is a must. We are well connected and respected in the capital markets and have strong relationships with analysts, money managers and investment advisors. These relationships – combined with data and research – ensure our clients have what they need to make informed decisions.
Focus
We are not a typical consulting firm. Our client list is deliberately exclusive, so you will have the dedicated attention of a senior team. As unique situations arise, we tap into the collective knowledge and experience of the broader group to deliver the best advice and execution for our clients.
