Notes to editors

AVI Global Trust plc - www.aviglobal.co.uk

AVI Global Trust plc ("AGT") was established in 1889 and currently has £1.3 billion* of assets.  AVI Global Trust ("AGT") provides expertly managed exposure to the opportunities presented in various parts of the world. The investment strategy identifies valuation anomalies to create a concentrated, unique and diversified portfolio of stocks.

AVI - www.assetvalueinvestors.com

AVI is an investment management company established in London in 1985. AVI manages AVI Global Trust plc, AVI Japan Opportunity Trust plc and MIGO Opportunities Trust plc, all investment companies whose shares are listed and traded on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. AVI manages £2.1 billion* across all its products. AVI's investment philosophy is grounded in the belief that capital markets frequently misprice complexity, particularly in markets where corporate governance is opaque, asset transparency is low, or conglomerate structures obscure underlying value. We identify these inefficiencies through a research-intensive process that specialises in discovering companies trading at material discounts to intrinsic value, with a focus on active engagement to unlock and grow that value.

Pacific Asset Management - www.pacificam.co.uk
Pacific Asset Management is an asset manager founded in 2016 responsible for over £18.4 billion* of assets. Pacific is headquartered in London. Pacific is a fresh and progressive asset manager, rethinking the conventions of how asset management works for advisers, institutions, investors, asset owners and the industry.
