28 September 2026

New chapter, same compelling story

The uncertainty hanging over Herald Investment Trust (HRI), caused by Saba Capital's stake-building and attempts to take control, has lifted. A July tender offer gave Saba a full exit, while a three-year "standstill agreement" allows manager Katie Potts and her team to focus on HRI's portfolio of pioneering technology companies.

The trust has moved to Aberdeen Investments, retaining its mandate while gaining research and marketing resources. Although now smaller, HRI remains a substantial size and has a cleaner shareholder base of investors who understand its proposition.

HRI continues to benefit from technology themes linked to artificial intelligence, including AI spending spreading to smaller suppliers and a shift from infrastructure to applications, creating more opportunities for smaller technology companies.
