Martin Shenfield, Non-Executive Chairman of Ashoka WhiteOak Emerging Markets Trust plc, said:
"The investment companies IPO market has been dormant since late 2021 and as such we are pleased to introduce the first listed equities-focused investment trust in almost five years to the premium segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange. We believe this was only achievable with a world class Investment Adviser in WhiteOak, in addition to AWEM's innovative and shareholder friendly fee structure and differentiated investment approach. The Board looks forward to working constructively with the WhiteOak team to deliver returns to our shareholders and materially scaling the Company."
