Breakwater Capital Markets partnered with The Investor Relations Society to contribute thought leadership on the evolving role of investor days. The resulting white paper, “When Strategy Meets Uncertainty: Why Scenarios Belong at Investor Days,” authored by Mark Hayes, Founder and Head of Breakwater Capital Markets, examines how scenario-based thinking can strengthen strategic dialogue with investors in an increasingly uncertain operating environment.
Traditional investor days focus on precise forecasts, but today’s markets demand the ability to contextualize strategy when conditions shift. Mark argues that scenario-based communication should be central to investor days, not as risk disclaimers but as tools for building and defending value over time. By anchoring valuation to underlying drivers, companies help investors understand how strategy adapts across different futures, reducing valuation shocks and building long-term credibility.
