In addition to the communications which you send to your investors via the communication centre, communications to investors are also automatically generated when you perform certain actions in the Issuer centre.
These communications are sent via email if the investor has provided an email address and chosen to receive emails in their investor details settings, however, if the investor has chosen not to receive emails or does not have an email address stored in their investor contact details, a PDF of the communication in letter format may be generated for you to mail to the investor.
Communications are also made available to the investor online. They can access these by logging in to the Investor centre and viewing their communications list.
Through the Outbound email preferences, you have the option of reviewing any email communications generated by the system and manually approving them to be sent, or sending them automatically.
The following is a list of the various actions which you can perform in the system that result in communications being generated for your investors via email or as a PDF which you can mail to them:
- An invitation to sign up to the Investor centre is generated for the investor.
