The Investment ( (GB:INV) ) just unveiled an announcement.
The Investment Company plc’s half-year report reveals a slight decline in net asset value and shareholder funds, with no dividends paid. The change in investment objective and policy, alongside the appointment of Chelverton Asset Management Limited, reflects a strategic shift towards long-term capital growth. Despite initial optimism, economic challenges and tax changes under the new UK government impacted market performance, especially affecting AIM shares due to speculation about inheritance tax relief changes. The company’s performance was mixed, with contributions from certain sectors and companies offset by underperformance in others, notably in the technology sector, which remains a significant focus. Looking ahead, the company anticipates potential market adjustments following recent budget announcements and economic developments.
