VEKTOR AeRO

Building on the VEKTOR methodology for the Regulated Market, from 2022 onwards, ARIR proposes the VEKTOR AeRO methodology to assess the investor communication of companies in the AeRO market.

The methodology is intended of companies in the BET AeRO according to the latest index structure available at the time of the evaluation.

The VEKTOR AeRO methodology comprises 11 criteria and incorporates the feedback received from issuers attending the roundtable on 31 January 2022.

The scope of the assessment methodology, being a project managed by the Romanian Investor Relations Association, focuses on promoting proactive investor relations practices, without assessing compliance with regulatory obligations. The evaluation will only include information from public sources.
