SHAREHOLDERS
With nearly two decades' experience in the international capital markets, MTR has a wide base of investors both in the equity and debt capital markets. We are committed to cultivating high standards of investor relations through regular and open communications. With our long history of disclosure, we are widely recognized as a leader in investor relations in Asia.  During 2002, our senior management was involved in more than 160 meetings with research analysts and institutional investors. Compared to 2001, there has been a significant decrease in the number of such meetings probably due to falling interest in equity and transport stocks caused by political and economic uncertainties worldwide. As at 31 December 2002 the Company's retail shareholders numbered over 435,000, the largest shareholder base of any company in Hong Kong. To meet their particular needs, we ensure the timely dissemination of information in a user-friendly format and operate a dedicated hotline within our Corporate Relations Department for individual shareholder's enquiries. In 2002, we responded to over 23,000 such telephone calls. |
