Schroder British Opportunities Trust plc (SBO) is pleased to announce that it has been named as the winner of the Most Exciting Investment Company IPO category at the ADVFN International Financial Awards 2021.
The panel-judged awards recognise and celebrate the best of breed products and services from across the financial industry, both nationally and internationally. Now in their seventh year, the ADVFN Awards are recognised across the international retail investor market.
Schroder British Opportunities Trust plc floated on the London Stock Exchange in December 2020. The Trust is focused on investing in the future growth of British Business, both public and private, by providing equity to high-quality, small and mid-sized UK companies with sustainable business models.
Schroder British Opportunities Trust co-Portfolio Managers, Rory Bateman and Tim Creed, commented:
“We firmly believe the Schroder British Opportunities Trust is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the future of British business and produce substantial returns while making a positive impact. It is an exciting IPO and we are delighted to receive this award.
“Since launch we have been focused on deploying capital and we are pleased to focus on the best of British opportunities and taking advantage of the bright sparks of a recovery in some parts of the UK market. The portfolio currently includes twenty-three public equity and three private equity holdings and we are now more than 70% invested[1].
“We believe that the valuation dislocation between many UK companies and their global peers is likely to persist and we continue to see significant opportunities to provide capital to small and mid cap companies to help them achieve their growth potential.”
