Voice of Investor® Perception Studies

We are a leader in primary investor research, and perception studies are core to our suite of advisory solutions

Our insights and recommendations, fueled by our proprietary Voice of Investor® research approach and Corbin Analytics database, which comprises 24,000+ interviews with investors and analysts globally, have led to immense value realization for our clients.

Perception studies are best practice. From being able to more effectively pitch a highly technical product in a vastly competitive market – your equity story, to quantifying opportunities to unlock value – whether you are undervalued or trade at a premium, to uncovering negative undercurrents that could lead to activism – we have a proprietary Vulnerability Index, understanding the voice of the investor is critical to maximizing engagement and capturing value along the way.

With over 15 years in capital markets and combining deep research and benchmarking capabilities with broad-based situational and advisory experience, our perception study solution is more than data. 

Our research-based insights and recommendations result in a crystallized view of how your equity story and investment appeal are viewed on an absolute and relative basis across a multitude of dimensions, uncovers the factors influencing valuation and specific opportunities to unlock value and aligns management on the roadmap to differentiate your company in the market. 

Affirmation and discovery are critical to continuous improvement and the foundation for realizing value over time.
