Minsetsu Launches Comprehensive IR Outsourcing Service to Alleviate Non-Core Tasks

Minsetsu's Innovative Solution for Investor Relations

In an era where corporate governance and investor expectations continue to evolve, the demand for streamlined investor relations (IR) practices is paramount. Minsetsu, a Tokyo-based company spearheading the Minna no Setsumeikai platform, has taken a significant step towards addressing these challenges by officially launching its IR outsourcing service, set to commence in October 2025. This initiative is designed to help IR professionals delegate non-core tasks, enabling them to concentrate on more strategic activities essential for fostering relationships with investors.

Background of the Service

As the landscape of corporate governance becomes increasingly complex, there has been a marked rise in IR responsibilities faced by companies. The adjustments in governance codes and heightened expectations from investors have compounded the workload of IR teams. Traditionally, many professionals find themselves overwhelmed by routine administrative tasks like scheduling meetings and preparing minutes. This leaves little room for engaging in meaningful discussions with investors or providing vital feedback to management, ultimately hindering core IR functions.

Recognizing this pressing need, Minsetsu aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of IR operations. By combining industry-standard expertise with data-driven insights, their outsourcing service promises to maximize the effectiveness of IR activities while alleviating the burdens placed on personnel.

Key Features of the Outsourcing Service

1. Transitioning to Core Activities through Task Delegation

One of the primary tasks the Minsetsu service will cover is the coordination of IR meetings. By managing the logistics of meeting arrangements with institutional investors and securities companies, Minsetsu allows IR officers to reclaim their time.

- Meeting Coordination Support: The service streamlines scheduling by taking charge of all communications necessary to finalize meetings. This encompasses everything from email correspondences to calendar management, providing IR teams a more efficient operational framework.

- Minute Preparation (IR Minutes AI): Utilizing AI technology, the service automates the recording of meetings and the subsequent preparation of minutes. This significantly reduces the time spent on these repetitive tasks, enabling IR professionals to focus on strategic engagements.

2. Strategic IR Activities Innovated by Data Intelligence

Minsetsu’s service also offers powerful analytical tools to bolster data-informed decision-making. By compiling insights from meeting logs and shareholder behaviors, the team provides:

- IR Meeting Analysis Reports: Detailed reports that capture investor interests and inquiry trends, which are crucial for executive decision-making.

- Shareholder Activity Reports: Continuous updates on fluctuations in major shareholder structures, comparisons with competitors, and trends regarding shareholder activism, ensuring that companies stay informed and responsive.

3. Proven Track Record and Standardization Across the Industry

Minsetsu leverages its impressive portfolio, boasting over 32,000 successful IR meeting arrangements and a network connecting more than 5,000 institutional investors and securities firms. This extensive experience enables seamless coordination not only for domestic inquiries but also with international investors. By adhering to best practices, Minsetsu aims to elevate your IR activities to a global standard.

Implementation Schedule

Upon signing a contract, the introduction of Minsetsu's service can be completed within 2 to 3 weeks. Following that, a dedicated team will invest 1 to 3 months to learn the client's specific operational rules related to scheduling and report generation, ensuring a rapid and effective improvement in their processes.
