New Stakeholder Study Reveals New Capital Markets Dynamic

A recent survey of global institutional investors, conducted in collaboration with S&P Global Market Intelligence, found that fundamental drivers impacting business resiliency continue to remain top of mind for investors. Collectively, these findings highlight the need for a strategy grounded in and supported by data to properly navigate a complex market environment.

• 90% of global investors continue to closely monitor inflation and its impact on profitability as well as the potential for an upcoming recession.
• Global geopolitical unrest is at least moderately monitored by 75% of investors.
• AI development is monitored to some degree by 74% of survey participants.

Additionally, the survey found that the presence of an AI strategy or business segment does not necessarily equate with investment attractiveness.

• Only 16% of investors state that there is a high influence on investment appeal when companies have an AI strategy or business segment.
• However, AI’s perceived impact on business is broad-based with employee productivity, process efficiencies, product development and competitive positioning expected to experience the most impact.
• Investors believe that AI is expected to have relatively less influence on labor relations, ethics and social impact, and privacy and data security.

“We are excited to work with S&P Global Market Intelligence, a global leader in financial data and technology solutions, to provide companies with analytics-enhanced capital markets advisory,” said Ben Kalevitch, managing director of Myriant. “Amid unprecedented complexity driven by economic, geopolitical, and social crosscurrents, clients are looking for insight-driven counsel to strengthen business resilience and build stakeholder engagement. We firmly believe that capital markets insights have tremendous value in financial communications and stakeholder engagement. Myriant’s new capital markets insights offering unlock the value of these insights to better serve our clients in ongoing and event-driven situations.”
