Irwin, a FactSet company

We are excited to announce a new chapter for Irwin today: we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by FactSet, a globally renowned leader in market data and analytics. FactSet has been part of our community since the very beginning. Our collaboration deepened when we launched a successful partnership in 2023, allowing us to integrate our CRM and IR workflows with FactSet’s financial data, analysis, and research. The positive market reaction and the significant benefits of our combined offering have already made an impact, but we know the best of our partnership is yet to come. Irwin and FactSet share the same vision for the future of capital markets, and together, we have an incredible opportunity to deliver that vision. This acquisition enhances our ability to support the IR community, ensuring you receive increased levels of service, product development, and the chance for your feedback to shape the future of investor relations. We are deeply grateful for everyone who has supported Irwin on this journey. Your belief in our mission has made this progress possible, and we’re committed to creating lasting value in the capital markets community as we move forward.

Short-term results can make or break a stock. But long-term strategy is what makes a company. Balancing the two in investor communications isn’t easy. On #WinningIR, Moira Conlon shared how the best IR professionals navigate this tension—turning quarterly pressure into long-term trust. Here's Moira's advice: ✔️ Translate long-term strategy into clear, measurable progress ✔️ Align messaging across functions, from the C-suite to comms ✔️ Use earnings calls to show momentum, not just metrics ✔️ Anticipate tough questions—and lead with your POV ✔️ Create consistency in narrative across channels and time periods This is where great IROs shine. They keep investors grounded in what matters most, even when the market's only looking at what’s next. Short-term wins earn confidence. Long-term clarity earns trust. How are you managing the balance right now?

Last week’s IR Impact US Awards brought the IR community together for a night of well-deserved celebration—and it didn’t disappoint. From standout wins (shoutout to Duolingo, Uber, CSX and Reddit, Inc.!) to reconnecting with clients, peers, and friends in the industry, the energy was high, and the room was full of stories worth sharing. We're proud to support a community that’s raising the bar for what successful IR looks like. Swipe through a few of our favorite moments👇 #IRImpact #InvestorRelations #WinningIR #IRCommunity

Investor relations is changing fast in the GCC—and IR teams are stepping up. In our recent Middle East Investor Relations Association IR Academy session, three experts broke down how to build a smart IR strategy, grow your investor base, and tackle tough questions around valuation and communication. Here’s what stood out: Strategic IR matters. It's not just about disclosure. Your IR strategy should align with management ambitions and market realities—starting with a clear equity narrative backed by data. Targeting = long game. Define who you want in your shareholder base. Use data to understand investor styles, build a roadmap, and reach the right mix of institutional and retail, local and international. Technology is no longer optional. Especially for lean teams. Tools like Irwin help identify investor fit, track engagement, analyze your share register, and streamline outreach. Trust drives value. Whether you’re building analyst relationships or engaging new markets, consistent, transparent communication matters—internally and externally. And one quote that said it all: “The currency of trust is transparency.” Missed the webinar? Head to our website to catch the full replay. Special thanks to our speakers: Salwa Gradl, CFA, Shahroz Hussain, CFA, IRC and Mansoor Elahi, CFA and Michael Roper.

Most IR teams are juggling 3–4 tools to manage investor outreach, reporting, and feedback. That’s 3–4 places to chase data, context, and clarity—every single day. When your platforms actually talk to each other, everything gets easier. That’s one of the biggest shifts happening in IR right now: 👉 Moving from disconnected tools to one connected platform 👉 Shifting from one-way updates to real conversations with investors 👉 Collecting feedback in real time—not weeks or months later 👉 Using that feedback to refine messaging as you go The future of investor relations is connected, data-driven, and relationship-first. And with FactSet, we’re building the platform to support it. Michael Roper, our VP Sales, EMEA, breaks down how in this interview with LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group).

Last week, we had the privilege of joining the Middle East Investor Relations Association for two incredible Iftar gatherings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. These events brought together IR professionals, corporate leaders, and advisors to celebrate Ramadan. At Irwin, we believe the best conversations happen face-to-face. Meeting our clients and the broader IR community in such a special setting was a great reminder of the power of connection—deepening relationships and building new ones. A huge thank you to our partners at MEIRA for organizing such thoughtful and well-executed events and to our fellow sponsor, Instinctif Partners, for helping to bring the IR community together.
