Arx Canvas
Where your company meets its investors.
Arx Canvas is a new generation of investor portal: your news, filings, market data, events and investor alerts in one modern interface, built and managed for you. Arx Canvas is an investor relations website and investor portal platform for publicly listed companies, built by Arx (CapitaLynx Ltd). It publishes SEC EDGAR and Canadian SEDAR+ filings, press releases, stock quotes and market data, events, governance information and investor email alerts automatically, with a built-in subscriber CRM and engagement analytics. Canvas can run as a complete investor relations website, as widgets inside an existing corporate site, or as a data API. Arx builds and manages the portal for the company; content is structured so search engines and AI assistants such as Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can read it.
Compliance grade. Investor optimized.
Everything a public company needs to inform investors, from automated filings and market data to alerts, analytics, and governance, in one portal.
Press releases: bring your latest company news into the portal automatically, without uploading each release. Filings and financial results: automatically add SEC EDGAR and SEDAR+ filings, including financial statements and results. Market data: keep stock quotes, price charts, and market data updated automatically alongside your disclosures. Governance: purpose-built components for board composition, director profiles, committee memberships, and governance documents.
Investor alerts and CRM: let subscribers choose their updates and manage preferences and relationships in the built-in CRM. Advanced analytics: review subscriber activity, repeat engagement, and interest in your content. GEO / AI discoverability: publish clear, structured company content built to be read by search and AI systems. Easy-to-use CMS: update news, events, governance documents, and pages without a developer.
Manage your investor communications.
Your portal updates itself. Press releases, market data, and regulatory filings, including financial results, are added automatically. Spend less time finding, uploading, and formatting updates.
Send relevant updates to opted-in subscribers. Offer choices for news, filings, results, and events. Manage alert preferences and subscriber CRM records together.
Understand investor engagement. See subscriber activity, engagement over time, and which content gets read. Review more than email delivery, opens, and clicks.
Help investors find your company. Canvas structures your content so search and AI services can read it, including Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Rankings and citations are up to those services.
Starting fresh or switching?
New Canvas portal: a complete investor relations website launched and managed by Arx. Move your existing portal: a migration plan covering content and subscriber imports, redirects, domain continuity, review, and a planned no-downtime cutover. Build with our data API: filings, releases, market data and events for teams that want to build inside their own site.
Built around IR requirements.
Disclosures that are easy to find: news, filings, financial results, and governance information organized in dedicated sections. Accessible publishing practices: support for WCAG 2.2 AA publishing practices with structured pages and readable content, including uploaded documents. Board and committee components: board composition, director profiles, committee memberships, and charters managed with specialized components, not just document links.
Your next investor may not start on your homepage.
Optimized for search and AI, out of the box. Canvas publishes company information as clear, structured pages with metadata and schema so that search engines and AI answer engines can find, read and quote it.
Frequently asked questions
What is Arx Canvas?
Arx Canvas is an investor relations website and investor portal platform for publicly listed companies, built by Arx (CapitaLynx Ltd). It publishes SEC EDGAR and Canadian SEDAR+ filings, press releases, stock quotes and market data, events, governance information and investor email alerts automatically, with a built-in subscriber CRM and engagement analytics. Canvas can run as a complete investor relations website, as widgets inside an existing corporate site, or as a data API. Arx builds and manages the portal for the company; content is structured so search engines and AI assistants such as Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can read it.
What is an investor relations website, and why does it need to be separate from the marketing site?
An investor relations website (IR site, investor portal or IR mini-site) is the dedicated place where shareholders, analysts, hedge funds, retail investors and regulators find a public company's disclosures: press releases, regulatory filings, financial results, stock information, events, governance documents and investor alerts. It is a compliance-grade record of the company, not a marketing page, and investors rely on it being complete, current and accurate. Serious public companies run it on a dedicated investor relations platform, separate from the corporate marketing site, so that filings and releases arrive automatically, formatting is correct, alerts go out on time and Regulation FD obligations are met without depending on a web developer. Arx Canvas is that dedicated platform.
How do you build an investor relations website?
There are three ways, and the choice matters. First, a web agency or in-house designer can build IR pages on the marketing site; every filing, release and result then has to be uploaded by hand, usually weekly, to stay in line with Regulation FD and exchange disclosure rules, and this manual process is a common cause of compliance failures such as late, missing or incorrectly formatted disclosures. Second, the company can keep its own site and add professional investor relations widgets for filings, news, stock data and alerts that update automatically; Arx provides these. Third, and the route most established public companies take, is a dedicated investor relations portal or mini-site on a purpose-built platform that pulls SEC EDGAR and SEDAR+ filings, press releases and market data itself, sends alerts, and is managed by an IR provider. Arx Canvas is built for the third option and also supplies the second.
How should we compare investor relations website providers?
Compare providers on compliance and reliability, not on visual design alone. Ask: Do filings and press releases appear automatically, and how quickly after they are filed or issued? Does the provider use its own proprietary feed matched to your company, or a generic keyword feed that can accidentally publish a third party's release that merely mentions your name onto your site? Are filings formatted correctly, including financial statements and exhibits? Are investor alerts sent automatically and in a Regulation FD-compliant way, to everyone at the same time? Is the provider familiar with Nasdaq, NYSE, TSX and CSE disclosure requirements? Are there dedicated formats for governance information: board, committees, charters, policies? Is there an easy CMS for updating non-feed content such as presentations and events? Do investors and analysts trust the result, and is it accessible? Arx Canvas is designed to answer yes to each of these.
How much does an investor relations website cost?
Pricing depends on scope: a complete managed portal, widgets inside an existing site, or a data API; how many exchanges and filing sources are connected; and whether migration and subscriber import are needed. Arx Canvas is a subscription that includes hosting, automatic filing and market-data feeds, press releases, investor alerts, CRM, analytics, governance components and ongoing management, and it is priced to be highly competitive with other investor relations website providers while including more features than a typical provider bundles. Contact Arx for a quote for your listing.
How long does it take to launch an investor relations website with Canvas?
A new Canvas portal can be live within one business day of receiving branding and company details, because filings, press releases and market data are connected automatically rather than uploaded page by page. Migrations from an existing investor website follow a planned schedule: content and subscriber import, redirects, review, then a no-downtime cutover with the old site staying live until the company approves.
Can our web developer or design agency build our investor relations site?
They can build pages, but an investor relations site is not a design project. It is a compliance-grade disclosure channel that hedge funds, analysts and retail investors rely on, and it has to stay complete and current every day the company is listed. A developer-built site depends on someone manually adding each filing, release and result, which is slow, error-prone and a frequent source of Regulation FD and exchange-rule problems. Public companies that take their listing seriously run investor relations on a dedicated platform such as Arx Canvas, and let the design agency focus on the marketing site.
What should an investor relations website include?
A complete investor relations website includes: a company overview, live stock quote and price chart, press releases, regulatory filings (SEC EDGAR for US-listed companies, SEDAR+ for Canadian issuers), quarterly and annual financial results, an events calendar with webcasts and presentations, governance information (board, committees, charters, policies), analyst coverage, investor email alerts with subscriber preferences, and contact details for investor relations. Arx Canvas includes each of these as a ready-made section.
How does Canvas prevent the wrong press release from appearing on our site?
Canvas uses a proprietary feed matched to the issuer, not a keyword search across newswires. A release from another company that happens to mention your name, a customer or a partner cannot be published to your investor site by mistake, which is a known failure of generic feeds used by some other providers. Your own releases and filings arrive automatically and are formatted consistently.
Are Canvas investor alerts Regulation FD compliant?
Canvas sends alerts automatically when the matching filing, release, result or event is published, so opted-in subscribers receive the same information at the same time it becomes public, which supports Regulation FD's requirement for broad, non-selective disclosure. Subscribers choose their categories, preferences are managed in the built-in CRM, and delivery and engagement are visible in analytics. Your disclosure counsel remains responsible for the disclosure decisions themselves.
Does Canvas support both SEC EDGAR and Canadian SEDAR+ filings?
Yes. Canvas brings SEC EDGAR filings and Canadian SEDAR+ filings into one investor experience, which matters for dual-listed and cross-listed companies on Nasdaq, NYSE, TSX, TSXV or CSE. Filings, including financial statements and results, appear automatically without manual uploads and are formatted correctly. As far as we know, Canvas is the only investor relations platform that auto-pulls both sources in this way.
Does Canvas handle governance information properly?
Yes. Canvas has dedicated components for board composition, director profiles, committee memberships, charters and governance documents, rather than a list of PDF links. Governance sections are structured so that investors, proxy advisers and regulators can find them, and they are updated through the CMS without a developer.
Can we update non-feed content ourselves?
Yes. Filings, press releases and market data arrive automatically; everything else, such as presentations, events, webcasts, governance documents, FAQs and pages, is edited in an easy-to-use CMS by the IR team without a developer. Arx also manages the portal and can make updates for you.
Can Canvas replace our existing investor website, or work with our current corporate site?
Both. Canvas can be a complete investor relations website covering news, filings, financial results, events, market data, governance content, subscriptions, alerts and publishing, with a migration plan covering content and subscriber imports, redirects, domain continuity, review and a no-downtime cutover. Companies that keep their corporate site can instead embed Canvas widgets or use the developer API; the portal, widgets and API share the same feeds.
Which companies is Arx Canvas designed for?
Arx Canvas is designed for publicly listed companies of every size, with particular focus on small-cap and mid-cap issuers on Nasdaq, NYSE, TSX, TSX Venture and the CSE, including Israeli and other cross-border companies listed in North America. It is also used by companies preparing for an IPO or uplisting that need an investor relations website ready at listing.
Is Canvas accessible and compliant?
Canvas supports WCAG 2.2 AA publishing practices with structured pages, readable content and accessible uploaded documents, and organizes disclosures in dedicated sections that are easy to find. Canvas does not guarantee accessibility certification, search rankings or AI citations: your organization owns compliance decisions, and search and AI services decide what to surface.
How does Canvas help our company appear in Google and AI assistants?
Canvas publishes company information as clear, structured pages with page titles, descriptions, schema.org markup, sitemaps and crawler-readable HTML, so that Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and similar services can read and quote it. This is sometimes called generative engine optimization (GEO). Rankings and citations remain up to those services.
Who is behind Arx Canvas?
Arx Canvas is built by Arx (CapitaLynx Ltd), an investor relations firm and software company that also provides IR advisory services and Arx Terminal, its investor-intelligence product. Canvas is developed and managed by the same team that runs investor relations programs for listed companies.
