A unique event showcasing issuers in the new energy sector to a select audience of UK and European institutional investors, facilitating dialogue and understanding of the issuers’ investment stories.
Following the success of the Renewable Energy Capital Markets Day held in October 2005, the London Stock Exchange and Carbon International are preparing for the rapidly approaching New Energy Capital Markets Day to be held on Friday, 3rd March 2006.
The Exchange’s Capital Market Days facilitates face-to-face, scheduled dialogue between companies and institutional investors.
Improved understanding = effective investment
“This area is so badly understood by investors - and I include myself in that group. Someone’s made money out of renewable stock, and I haven’t. I’ll be coming.” – Leading small cap fund manager
There can be little doubt that the new energy sector – embracing companies with renewable, low carbon and energy efficient solutions - is poised for growth. Against a background of rapid technological and regulatory change, and concerns over climate change, the environment and energy security, new companies are coming to market with exciting new energy solutions. Investor interest in the sector has never been higher, but information to help evaluate the investment proposition is scarce.
This day is aimed to help solve that problem.
The New Energy Capital Markets Day is an unprecedented opportunity for investors and issuers from the renewable and low carbon sector to meet each other in one place, at one time.
Open and private dialogue
Each company has the opportunity to present its investment story to an institutional audience and meet individual investors on a one-to-one basis in private rooms.
The London Stock Exchange, working with Carbon International, a specialist clean technology IR and PR Company, identifies, pre-qualifies and invites appropriate institutional investors to ensure their relevance and interest. We also manage the scheduling, logistics, marketing and administration on the day.
An Invaluable opportunity
Viewing the maximum number of investment propositions in a minimal amount of time in a single location makes a Capital Markets Day an invaluable event to attend. There are no lengthy speeches, but brief financial presentations and the opportunity to have private one to one meetings with as many of the companies as you wish.
Spaces to attend as an investor or as a presenting company are limited.
Building on the success of the Renewable Energy Capital Markets Day 2005
On 13th October 2005, seventy investors from sixty different investment houses spent the day at the London Stock Exchange.
Large cap and small cap fund managers, equity analysts, heads of research and managing directors from organisations including Goldman Sachs, UBS, Hendersons, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Schroders and Morgan Stanley came to learn about the investment opportunities offered by 9 exciting Renewable Energy Companies.
The companies, Voller Energy, Acta, Tersus Energy, Novera, Theolia, Oxonica, D1 Oils, Clean Diesel Technologies and Enova, presented to a packed investor audience and subsequently each enjoyed as many as six private meetings with investors on the day.
The companies found this time and cost effective way of generating investment interest to be a huge success. All attending investors commented that they found the event helpful to their investment decisions and the quality of the presenting companies to be ‘excellent’ or ‘good’.
