Today at the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) Annual Meeting, IHS Markit announced the July release of Capital Access, an Investor Relations intelligence and engagement platform that empowers IR teams to target and engage investors and prospects while measuring and optimizing success in a single platform.

"Market volatility, regulatory changes and shifting investor priorities have all contributed to a more challenging environment as public issuers compete for capital," said Kelly McGeehan, Head of Issuer Solutions at IHS Markit. "Capital Access was developed to empower IR teams to leverage our world-class data, target investors more precisely, engage them more effectively, and measure success more efficiently."

Intuitive workflows enable IR teams to move seamlessly through the entire Target-Meet-Measure engagement lifecycle. Buy-side and sell-side contact data and investor targeting insights are integrated into the CRM and workflow to streamline outreach activities, while activity and analytic dashboards deliver actionable performance insights on demand. Through a combination of rich data, proprietary algorithms and a global network of market participants, Capital Access deepens insight and engagement.

Capital Access is designed with a clean, modern interface that supports a feature-rich, best-practice workflow from end-to-end. John Londono, Vice President of Product Management, added: "Capital Access was developed in partnership with the investor relations community at every step. Our user groups and advisory boards worked toward one goal: Incorporate advances in technology and innovation seamlessly into the investor relations workflow. As part of our ongoing development cycle, we will continue to engage the issuer community and ensure that user feedback drives future enhancements to the platform."
