BEOGRADSKA BERZA
May 21, 2009, Belgrade
After two successful Roadshows in Zagreb and Vienna, organized by the partner stock exchanges from SE Europe, the first Roadshow in Belgrade was held on May 21, under the title „SEE Regional Capital Markets Conference“. The Roadshow, i.e. investor conference, is a meeting place for company representatives and their potential or current shareholders and investors, above all representatives of financial institutions – broker houses, funds and banks - but sometimes also physical persons, depending on the scope and organization of the event. During the Roadshow, companies present their business results, share performance and future plans. Unlike other forms of business presentations intended for the public or media representatives, investor conferences are primarily aimed at presenting professional data interesting for investment; thus, data such as company history or product specification, are usually not presented. On the other hand, a company’s market, new product development, ways of financing, dynamics of revenue and expenses are topics much more interesting for investors who have to decide where to invest their funds with the maximum possible gain. A company’s readiness to compare its own performances with those of the key competitors and presentation and ways of meeting real potential risks is something that can draw the investors’ attention to the company and its shares more firmly and for a longer period of time. In addition to presentations, company representatives and investors have one-on-one meetings, at which the investors can find out more about a company’s bussiness activities, ask questions, inquire additional explanations, etc.
At the Belgrade Roadshow, the managers of 20 companies presented their business operations to the investors from the region, West and Central Europe. The following companies participated in the Roadshow:
- from Slovenia: Intereuropa, Nova KBM, Pozavarovalnica Sava and Zavarovalnica Triglav,
- from Croatia: Atlantic Grupa, Institut Građevinarstva Hrvatske and Podravka,
- from Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosnalijek from Sarajeva and Telekom Srpske from Banja Luka,
- from Montenegro: Plantaže 13. juli,
- from Macedonia: Komercijalna banka, Granit and Toplifikacija,
- and 7 companies from Serbia: Tigar, Energoprojekt holding, Sojaprotein, Komercijalna banka, Alfa plam, Imlek and Metalac.
Regarding the industrial sectors, companies from banking and insurance sectors dominated the Belgrade Roadshow, followed by the companies from the construction, food and processing industries. As for investors, there were over 80 representatives of investment and pension funds, as well as broker-dealer companies and regional banks. During the Roadshow, over 100 one-on-one talks were organized, giving the investors a chance to learn more about the financial results of particular companies. As in the previous events, we are particularly pleased with the fact that the investors showed great interest in one-on-one talks with representatives of Serbian companies. The interest was so great that, due to the limited time schedule, it was impossible to organize all the talks the investors were interested in.
The event was accompanied with a publication in English, in the electronic form, presenting all the participants as well as the markets where the shares of those companies are traded. As in the case of previous two Roadshows, the publication was prepared by the analysts of the Raiffeisen bank.
The promotion of the regional capital markets and issuers of securities is carried out according to the Memorandum on Cooperation signed in December 2007, which, in addition to the organization of joint investor conferences, envisages the creation of joint indices and other forms of promotion of the signees. Although the effects of such events as far as market is concerned can only be seen after some time, these events undoubtedly contribute to the relations between investors and public companies, and further enhance the visibility of the entire region for domestic and foreign investors. The general opinion of the domestic issuers who presented themselves to investors in Belgrade is that the event was very important and that it makes the basis for further development of the relations with current and future shareholders.
