How does Spreds ensure transparency and communication with investors?
1. How often do companies communicate with investors?
Unlike companies listed on regulated markets, there is no legal obligation for unlisted companies to provide regular financial information, apart from the annual accounts. However, we do require companies to provide updates twice a year. This helps to maintain transparency and inform investors about the company's development. However, it's important to note that we can't create information from scratch, and we rely on information provided by the entrepreneurs themselves.
2. What does Spreds do to ensure transparency and access to information?
Although Spreds does not sit on the boards of the companies in which you invest, we are direct shareholders and have an interest aligned with investors. We do our best to make entrepreneurs aware of the importance of providing accurate and regular information. Sanctions are applied in the event of non-compliance with this obligation. If the information provided is not sufficient, we can facilitate direct contact with the entrepreneur.
3. What should I do with the information received (or not received)?
Information received can help you make informed decisions about future investments, but remember that, unlike listed shares, shares in unlisted companies do not allow you to act quickly in the market. Lack of information can create uncertainty, but we encourage investors to talk directly with entrepreneurs to better understand the situation.
4. Why is it important to get regular updates?
Accurate and regular information enables us to better support entrepreneurs, even in difficult times. It also facilitates informed decision-making for future investments. A lack of information can lead to doubts about the company's management and a loss of confidence.
