Who – experience matters

Simon Collins established Investor Perceptions in 2008 following a career in the City spanning more than 26 years.

Twelve years as a UK equity portfolio manager and a total of 14 years as a corporate IR advisor - 3 years at Makinson Cowell and 11 years at UBS - provides Simon with a unique blend of skills, knowledge and experience.

Simon's expertise spans IR advisory; investor perception and feedback studies; market and share price intelligence; share register analysis; investor targeting; M&A; board reporting; stock research and selection; asset allocation and portfolio construction.

Having the relevant experience and an understanding of the stock market dynamic creates a more engaging dialogue with investors - we speak the same language. The result is a comprehensive, deeper and more thoughtful investor perception study or feedback exercise.
