ASX announcements are written for regulators and advisers. Investors read them on a phone between meetings. The gap is not intelligence—it is format.
An announcement summary is not marketing copy. It is a short, plain-language summary that says what changed, what it means for the business, and where to find the primary document.
Structure that scales
Open with the one sentence an investor would repeat to a colleague. Follow with three bullets: what happened, why it matters, what happens next. Link the filing. Stop.
Avoid adjectives that outrun the disclosure. If the announcement is cautious, the summary should be cautious. Credibility compounds when the tone matches the source.
Publish while the news is still news
A summary published three days late is archaeology. Automate ingestion of new filings, draft from the text you already released, and approve the public summary the same day when possible.
That rhythm is what makes an investor page feel alive—and what reduces duplicate questions about the same announcement.
