AGMs: What investors want to know

THE annual general meeting (AGM) is arguably the most important event for listed companies in the year. On this day, the company's board and key management meet their investors to provide an account of its performance and seek their approval on various matters.

During AGMs, boards can address queries and strengthen relationships with investors who want to know that they have put their money in the right place.

Managing the AGM and investors well will ensure their continued support. One key aspect of this is anticipating and preparing for questions that will be raised by shareholders.
