REPORT: Two-thirds of Wall Street use mobile devices for equity research

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vintage, the capital markets, corporate services and institutional & fund services division of PR Newswire, have posted the results of the fifth question from its 2016 edition of the Shareholder Confidence 365 Study. 

Question #5: Do you use an iPad of similar mobile smart device / tablet for stock research?

More and more, institutional investors are getting up from their well-worn chairs in front of their Bloomberg Portals. The comparative 2X flip-flop with individual investors is perplexing: perhaps the tools favored by Main Street are not optimized for smart mobile user-experience (UX).

What shareholder communications can do to assure a smart UX for visitors is build/design your IR website to be responsive. Responsive design automatically displays content based on screen size, platform and orientation.

One important caveat – most IR websites cannot be built with responsive design if your main corporate site is not responsive. Generally, IR websites are constructed using corporate site's look-and-feel, or to use webspeak, using the corporate website's cascading style sheet (CSS). The use of the CSS assures that shareholders have a consistent experience navigating throughout a company's entire website.
