Fiserv Appoints Walter Pritchard as Senior Vice President, Head of Investor Relations

Key Terms

investor relations financial

Investor relations is the communication process between a company and its current or potential investors. It involves sharing information about the company's performance, strategies, and outlook to help investors make informed decisions. Effective investor relations build trust and transparency, similar to a clear conversation between a business and someone considering investing, ensuring both parties understand each other's interests and expectations.

equity research financial

Equity research is the process of studying a publicly traded company's business, finances and market position to form an informed view on whether its stock is a good investment. Think of it as a detailed inspection and forecast — analysts gather facts, estimate future profits and risks, and then recommend buy, hold or sell; investors use these findings like a weather report to judge potential returns and risks before putting money into a stock.

chartered financial analyst financial

A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is a professional credential awarded to people who pass a series of demanding exams and meet work and ethical requirements in investments and financial analysis. For investors, a CFA serves like a certified mechanic for money — a signal that the adviser or manager has tested knowledge, a disciplined approach, and an ethical commitment, which can make investment advice and portfolio decisions more trustworthy.
