(ˈkɔr nərˌstoʊn), noun
The first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to it, thus determining the position of the entire structure.
We are the first investor relations (IR) firm with offices in Bucharest, Romania and Warsaw, Poland, dedicated to providing services in the area of investor relations, shareholder engagement and capital markets PR. Our primary focus is to offer the highest quality integrated services to companies that are already listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange’s Main Market and AeRO market as well as Warsaw Stock Exchange’s Main Market and NewConnect. We also work closely with companies which are eyeing or already undergoing the pre-IPO, IPO or private placement stage at any of the CEE markets.
We believe that corporate communications set the cornerstone for the market value of a business and the interest in the market for the intended transactions. Through a unique international expertise of our managers as well as an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of the capital market, at Cornerstone we do not improve only the image, but most importantly, we lay down conditions to improve the valuation of businesses and we contribute to the success of intended transactions.
There is much more to Investor Relations than presenting financial statements. IR is an integral part of sound corporate governance and has to be considered as an investment, not an expense. Valuations are increasingly shaped not only by transparency, but also by the quality of communication, openness to investors and the viability of the company’s equity story.
Cornerstone Communications, the only IR firm present throughout the CEE, with headquarters in Bucharest and Warsaw, can help your company gain more information disclosure, press coverage, share-trading volume, institutional investor ownership, analyst following, and as a result therefore – an improved, fair market valuation.
Possessing a deep understanding of the local capital markets, its mechanisms as well as nuances, we offer unique products and investor relations advisory services.
We are fully equipped to support companies in any of the following situations: willing to improve their communication with the market for the long-term benefit of increased valuation, intending to raise funds through either equity or debt instruments, looking for investment opportunities, entering new markets or participating in M&A transactions, eyeing new product or services development. We assist companies in pre-IPO, IPO and Private Placement of both equities and bonds, ensuring the communication with the market that is beneficial for the company’s valuation.
We build connections between issuers and companies looking for financing and investors from major financial hubs worldwide, including London, Frankfurt, Warsaw, US and the Middle East. We have extensive networks that include, but are not limited to: global institutional investors, brokerage houses, data vendors, local and international press as well as opinion-makers.
Our services are based on profound knowledge and understanding of Polish, Romanian, but also regional – CEE environment. Like no other local firm, we blend international capital markets experience and expertise with understanding of the local market and its realities, offering an objective view on both its advantages as well as challenges.
All our services are by default offered bilingually, in English and the local language (Polish, Romanian or other CEE-languages). We are capable of serving Polish and Romanian clients in their national language. Additionally, we are able to assist local, Romanian companies willing to gain exposure in Poland and vice-versa, since Cornerstone has its offices in both Bucharest and Warsaw.
