What do investors want?

Here’s what the fund managers say:

“It is typically our first point of reference because I would look for the report and accounts – we don’t hold hard copies any more.”
“When you want to look quickly at an item in the [HTML version of the] annual report, it is much easier. I do not keep annual reports any longer because of a lack of space, so in fact, the Internet is my storage.”
“If the website is good, and the information is accessible, then a website is preferable to trying to look through hundreds of pages of financials to find what you need.”

These comments are taken from a study conducted by Investis with Makinson Cowell, in which we interviewed 33 fund managers from some of the world’s leading investing institutions.
