Overview

Your InvestorHub is the central place where investors learn about your company, access announcements, and stay engaged with your progress. Setting it up properly ensures a seamless experience for both your team and your investors.

This guide walks through the core steps to get your hub live: inviting your team, connecting your registry, setting up your domain, integrating your hub into your website, configuring email settings, and preparing for launch.

Content


1. Inviting your team to your workspace

Before you begin

  • You’ll need your own InvestorHub invitation email.

  • Have the email addresses of any team members you’d like to invite.

  • Admins can invite other users and manage workspace permissions.

How to accept your invitation

  1. Search your inbox for the subject line: “Activate your InvestorHub account for [COMPANY]”.

  2. The email is sent from no-reply@investorhub.com.

  3. Select Activate your account and follow the steps.

If you can’t find your link, your CSM can resend it. Invitation links expire after 48 hours, so you may need a fresh one.

How to invite your team

  1. Go to Settings → Team.

  2. Select Invite user.

  3. Enter their name and email.

  4. Choose their access level:

    1. Admin - full access, including settings and user management.

    2. Registry - visibility of all shareholder data, including movements and can create Raises and manage Past Placements

    3. Content (Sensitive) - ability to create and edit campaigns, announcements, updates and social posts - including creating and modifying draft announcements. Can create and modify Hub’s appearance, customise email campaign templates and see content performance.

    4. Content - ability to create and edit campaigns, announcements, updates and social posts. Can create and modify Hub’s appearance, customise email campaign templates and see content performance.

    5. Basic - basic access to published campaigns, contact information and engagement analytics. Cannot see any private registry data or draft content.


2. Connecting your registry

InvestorHub connects to your registry through a secure API integration. This enables daily updates to your shareholder records and unlocks key platform features.

Why this matters

Connecting your registry allows you to:

  • Track shareholder movements in real time.

  • View enriched holder profiles in your CRM.

  • Access insights used in Advanced Reporting and board-level analytics.

Once you have connected to the registry, the data will be automatically updated in your Hub and the data will be T+2 (Trading +2 days). The exception to this is Computershare data which can only be added to your Hub by manually pulling in the data.

Registries

Each registry has a different connection process:

Automic

  • Automic will email you directly for confirmation.

  • Reply confirming that InvestorHub can connect to your account.

  • Approximate timeframe: ~2 days.

Boardroom

  • Boardroom will send a one-page API agreement.

  • Sign and return the agreement to enable your connection.

  • Approximate timeframe: ~2 weeks.

Link/MUFG or Xcend

  • These registries will email you to confirm access.

  • Reply confirming approval.

  • Approximate timeframe: ~2 days.

For the registries listed above, if you haven’t heard from your registry, contact your CSM for an update. Registries will not connect without your confirmation.

Computershare

Computershare data can only be added to your Hub by manually uploading the data.

Computershare clients will need to liaise directly with your Computershare account manager and create a registry login for a nominated representative in your team using a new email address on your domain (e.g. ir@listedcompany.com, registry@listedcompany.com) so that there is no cross-over with any existing accounts. Once this has been created they will be able to create a data file that can be emailed to your CSM. Your CSM can then arrange for this to be uploaded to your Hub.

We recommend that you do this on a monthly basis, usually on the 3rd or 4th business day of each month. This will enable your data in the Hub to be refreshed on a monthly basis. Ask your Computershare account manager to create a dedicated login for your team (e.g. ir@company.com).


3. Setting up your domain

Before you begin

  • You’ll need your company’s domain details.

  • You may need support from your IT or webmaster.

  • You’ll also choose two email addresses:

Why this matters

Your domain makes your hub feel like an extension of your main website. For example:

How to set up your domain

  1. Decide on your custom hub domain (e.g. investors.company.com).

  2. Add your marketing and transactional email addresses in Settings → Investor hub domain.

  3. Update DNS settings following the instructions shown on your domain setup page.

  4. Once DNS changes propagate, your hub will be accessible under your new custom domain.

If you’re unsure which DNS records to add, keep the InvestorHub domain setup page open – it shows the exact values you need to copy.

If you need help, your CSM can guide your webmaster through the process.


4. Integrating your hub into your website

Integrating your hub ensures investors can easily find your latest updates.

Why this matters

Many investors navigate through a company’s main website before exploring investor information. Adding clear pathways ensures:

  • Higher traffic to your hub.

  • Better engagement with interactive announcements and updates.

  • Cleaner, consolidated investor communication.

How to integrate

  1. Add a link to your hub in your website’s navigation bar (e.g. under “Investors”).

  2. Update or redirect old ASX announcement and reports pages to your hub.

  3. Replace outdated “Investor Centre” pages with your new hub link.

Example placements:

  • Header navigation

  • Footer links

  • ASX announcements pages

  • Corporate governance or investor relations pages


5. Updating your website contact forms

You can replace your existing contact or investor-sign-up forms with your InvestorHub subscription form. This ensures:

  • All sign-ups feed directly into your CRM.

  • Subscribers automatically receive your email updates.

To add your embedded form, you can use iframe code below:

<iframe

height="172"

src="https://{replace with your hub domain}/subscribe"

style="border: none; max-width: 100%"

width="520"
></iframe>


6. Setting up your email domain and templates

How to set up your email reply email

Under Settings → Email, configure:

  • Send From email (the address investors will see)

  • Send From name (e.g. Company Name)

  • Reply-To address

How to customise your templates

InvestorHub uses a drag-and-drop editor for designing email templates.

Under Settings → Email, scroll to the email templates and press Edit to make changes to the standard template.

Available templates:

  • Campaign templates for newsletters and updates

  • Automated distribution for ASX announcements

  • Manual distribution for non-automated setups

  • Welcome New Shareholder email

Best practice:

  • Keep branding consistent

  • Use clear calls to action

  • Check all links

  • Keep copy simple and professional

7. Launching your InvestorHub

Launching your hub encourages early engagement and ensures investors know where to go for updates.

How to create a strong launch

  1. Include your hub in an ASX announcement.
    Add a short explanation and link.

  2. Add the hub link to your announcement templates.
    Place it in your header, footer, or contact section.

  3. Promote the hub on social media.
    Share your launch video or welcome message.

  4. Update your website navigation.
    Make the hub easy to find.

ASX announcement example
