Odyssean Investment Trust
Focused approach to UK small-cap investing
1 May 2018
Odyssean Investment Trust (OIT) began dealing on the London Stock Exchange today, having raised £87.5m in an initial placing and offer for subscription. Its lead portfolio manager, Stuart Widdowson, previously managed the award-winning investment trust, Strategic Equity Capital, between 2009 and 2017. OIT aims to provide shareholders with attractive long-term capital growth by investing primarily in UK-listed smaller companies, typically too small for inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index. It seeks companies that are trading below intrinsic value in which to own an influencing stake, to enable engagement with all stakeholders to improve value. A closed-ended structure allows the manager to invest with a long-term investment horizon in an asset class where shares can be illiquid. Shareholders are able to realise their investment at NAV (less costs) every seven years. MORE »
