Investor targeting outside of New York and Boston

Institutions to visit across North America in the cities that made IR Magazine’s annual top 20 destination list

While the usual cities continue to top the list of most-visited roadshow destinations for 2020, it’s not just about New York, London and Boston.

Each year, IR Magazine publishes a top 20 roadshow destinations list as part of its Global Roadshow Report. In 2020, those three cities – New York, London and Boston – maintained their positions in the top three spots, but what does the global roadshow destination landscape look like outside of the top three?

Including New York and Boston, half of the top 20 list is taken up by North American cities – most of which have moved up the table. The exceptions are Chicago, which maintains its fourth-place position, and Toronto, which is down one place to the seventh most-visited city.

If you’re looking to expand which cities to hit on your next North American roadshow – an easier feat than ever before now that virtual meetings are the norm – IHS Markit has shared some numbers on the biggest institutions by assets outside of New York, London and Boston.

This article looks only at the North American cities featured in the global top 20 destination list, which also features cities from across Europe and Asia. Click here for more information or to download your copy of the Global Roadshow Report 2020
