Finansinspektionen IR Guidelines: Page Standards forSwedish Investor Relations
Finansinspektionen’s guidelines provide granular direction on how listed companies should present their IR content. While not law, these recommendations are widely adhered to and reflect regulators’ expectations for high-quality disclosures.
- Accessibility & Navigation
– Prominent IR Section: The IR page must be easily accessible from the corporate homepage, with clear menu labels (e.g., “Investor Relations,” “Financial Reports”).
– Logical Structure: Group information by category, reports, press releases, governance, events, and use consistent layouts. - Content Requirements
– Periodic Reports & Filings: Ensure timely posting of annual, semiannual, and (where applicable) quarterly reports, with both HTML summaries and downloadable PDF/Excel versions.
– Regulated Information: Post all price-sensitive news, insider-related disclosures, and significant corporate events without undue delay. - Presentation Standards
– Clarity & Non-Misleading Formatting: Use charts and tables with clear labels and source citations; provide narrative context to avoid ambiguity.
– Language & Translations: Offer disclosures in Swedish and English where appropriate, ensuring simultaneous publication. - Updates & Archiving
– Real-Time Updates: Refresh content as soon as new information arises, news tickers or banners can highlight the latest items.
– Archival Accessibility: Maintain a structured archive of pas reports and releases, typically for at least five years, enabling investor research.
By aligning your IR website with Finansinspektionen’s guidelines, through intuitive navigation, structured content presentation, and rigorous update protocols, you demonstrate a commitment to transparency and regulatory best practice that deepens investor trust.
