LENZ&Co. has entered into a business partnership with 日本證券新聞社 and Ishare, launching a new business collaboration to plan and produce complimentary interviews with the CEOs and CFOs of listed companies and distribute them in print, digitally and through Ishare.
LENZ&Co. has formed a three-way partnership with 日本證券新聞社 and Ishare to launch a new business collaboration aimed at communicating to investors the value of listed companies that has not been fully reflected by the equity market. At the heart of the initiative is the complimentary provision of content based on interviews with CEOs or CFOs.
As its first initiative, articles based on the interviews will be published in the print edition of 日本證券新聞 and on 日本証券新聞Digital, while interview transcripts will be distributed on Ishare.
The collaboration is being launched against a backdrop of insufficient efforts to translate companies’ actual management conditions into criteria investors can use to assess them, amid growing calls for stronger disclosure on management that takes capital costs and share prices into account.
The three companies aim to bring corporate value to light by combining brand recognition, reach and content-production capabilities; a collective-intelligence platform and investor community; and strategy development grounded in valuation.
Going forward, they plan to turn a series of analyst-style 1-on-1 interviews with multiple listed companies into content and jointly develop and provide solutions that bring listed companies and investors closer together.
