Christopher Russell, Chairman of the Company, commented:
"Having a requirement to publish a prospectus, the Board saw this as a good opportunity to provide current and new shareholders with a convenient route to participate in the Company's growth. The Board is very pleased to welcome the Company's new shareholders and thanks current shareholders for their continued support. In 2021 alone, the Company will have now issued almost 60 million Shares, raising gross proceeds of more than £170 million, reflecting the strong investor interest in the Investment Manager's unique investment approach. At a time when factors such as inflation and Covid-19 have left markets unsettled, we remain confident that the Company's investment philosophy of targeting steady, positive annual returns in all conditions will continue to serve our shareholders well."
