Orphan date February 2009 Investor Awareness is a term used in investor relations , by public company public companies and similar bodies, to describe how well their investors, and the investment market in general, know their business. Its significance is that investors are expected to base their investment decisions on awareness and knowledge, and a lack of these may lead to a low profile amongst its peers in the stock market market ie, competing businesses and investment opportunities , to the detriment of the business. More Investor awareness is knowledge the investment community has of a company. http soswy.state.wy.us securiti investor basic basic.htm It can be looked at like this Do investors know about your company? If the answer is yes, then it could be said that the company has good investor awareness which means investors have knowledge of, are conscious of, or have a perception of a company and are very aware of its products and services. If we were to assume that a company has no investor awareness or poor investor awareness, then the company has probably done a poor job at creating visibility in the investment community and likely no one outside of the company s offices or friends and family has knowledge of the company.
