The 2025 Australasian Investor Relations Association (AIRA) Awards winners were announced last night at the Annual AIRA Best Practice Investor Relations Awards. Thirteen of AIRA’s awards recognise listed entities that have excelled in Investor Relations over the past year. The winners were determined based on votes from domestic and international equities buy and sell-side analysts and fund managers.
“These awards recognise not only excellence in investor relations, but also the critical role that IR professionals and our broader community play in navigating today’s dynamic capital markets,” said Ian Matheson, Chief Executive Officer of AIRA. “As expectations around transparency, ESG disclosure, governance, and stakeholder engagement continue to rise, the work of those we celebrate tonight sets the benchmark for effective, credible, and forward-looking communication. Their commitment strengthens trust, supports market integrity, and ultimately enhances the connectivity between companies and investors—something that is increasingly vital in this rapidly evolving landscape.”
This year, AIRA awarded five sell-side awards, including a new award in recognition of the boutique brokers or commercial conference organisers community and their support of the small-cap and emerging companies. These award winners were determined based on voting from investor relations professionals from listed entities.
