Today, within the framework of the investment conference “Slovenia and Croatia Investor Day” organised by the Ljubljana and Zagreb Stock Exchanges, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange presented the awards to the best listed companies and member firm for a period of one year – from 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2019.

During the observed period, the winning companies excelled in different statistical criteria, such as: turnover, increase in price, increase in turnover and number of trading days, while the member firm of the year had to excel in all the following categories: turnover and transactions, increase in turnover, provision of market making service, the coverage and promotion of Slovene listed companies and the capital market.

This year for the first time, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange also awarded the Best Investor Relations Award. With this new award, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange seeks to highlight the importance of good investor relations for listed companies and to contribute to increasing the level of transparency of listed companies. The criteria for winning were regular and consistent disclosure, compliance with the (Slovenian) Corporate Governance Code, participation in investor events organized by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, and a survey among journalists, asset management companies, pension companies, insurance companies and member firms in the field of investor relations.
