Frequently asked questions
How does iron support you in creating a compelling equity or bond story?
The equity or bond story is at the heart of all capital market communications. It must be understandable, credible, and to the point for professional investors and the broader capital market alike. The iron AG team works with you to develop this core message: strategically sound, with an eye on corporate goals, the market environment, and investor structure. Our capital market expertise from over 25 years – including know-how from numerous IPOs, bond issues, acquisitions, and other transactions – flows into every project. The result: a coherent story that convinces investors, builds trust, and increases the value of your company – consistently and over the long term.
We already have a well-established investor relations team – how can we still benefit from iron?
A strong internal IR team is a valuable resource and can be complemented in a targeted manner by working with us. We offer an independent external perspective on your communication strategy, take the pressure off you when it comes to operational issues, and bring the latest best practices from the capital market to the table. As a sparring partner on equal footing, we are at your side when challenging decisions need to be made, for example in relation to capital measures, ad hoc communications, or roadshows. Our diverse expertise in IR and ESG and our long-standing client relationships show that even experienced teams benefit from additional perspectives and reliable support.
What expertise does the iron team bring to the table and who are my contacts?
Our consultants combine over 25 years of capital market experience with in-depth expertise in corporate finance, communications, and consulting. Thanks to our hands-on approach, the consultants who develop your concept are also the ones who implement it - quickly, reliably, and efficiently. Each client is assigned a customised team tailored specifically to their needs. We place particular emphasis on continuity of contact persons to ensure a trusting working relationship. The combination of versatile expertise and in-depth knowledge ensures that you always receive the best possible advice.
Why should we bundle ESG and investor relations consulting from a single provider?
Sustainability and financial communication are increasingly seen as a single entity on the capital market – sustainability-oriented investors in particular expect consistent communication in both areas. As an independent consultant, iron offers both disciplines from a single source: from ESG strategy development and sustainability reports to integrated capital market communication. Our diverse expertise guarantees not only consistency in content, but also operational efficiency. As responsible consultants, we practice what we preach – and ensure that your sustainability and financial story form a coherent whole.
What is iron's approach in crisis situations?
In special situations such as restructuring, management changes or market turmoil, every minute counts – and every word. In such phases, our consultants act as level-headed, strategic partners with a clear eye for the essentials. Thanks to our hands-on mentality and flexible approach, we quickly analyse the situation, structure communication, and ensure consistent messaging. As independent consultants, we can provide uncompromisingly neutral recommendations. It goes without saying that we adhere to the highest standards when handling sensitive information. Confidentiality, availability, and reliability are at the core of our corporate philosophy.
What does a typical collaboration with iron look like?
The first step is getting to know and understand each other: we analyse your current capital market position, goals, and challenges. Based on this, we develop a customised IR concept – from reporting to roadshows. In our day-to-day work, we are proactive, flexible, and treat you as an equal partner. We think ahead and implement immediately – whether for transactions, financial reports or strategic issues. We have been serving many of our clients for over ten years, which is a clear sign of their trust in our reliable, independent advice.
What added value does external investor relations consulting offer after an IPO/bond issue?
The real work begins after the placement, because IR becomes an ongoing task with reporting obligations, investor expectations, and growing market observation. An external IR consultancy such as iron offers strategic support, operational relief, and access to a strong capital market network. Studies show that companies with professional IR achieve higher shareholder approval, lower volatility, lower risk premiums, and a lower risk of activism. Through regular communication and dialogue formats, we strengthen relationships with investors and thus credibility on the capital market, which leads to higher valuations and lower capital costs in the long term.
How can private companies benefit from iron?
Private corporations are also facing growing transparency requirements: banks, investors, business partners, and the public increasingly expect professional communication. Team iron supports you with versatile expertise and flexible solutions to strategically prepare for these requirements - whether for future financing rounds, potential IPOs, or to strengthen stakeholder relationships. We develop new reporting structures and lay the communicative foundations for growth. In short, we make you "capital market ready" – independent, reliable, and to the point.
