Quoted Companies

LGB Investments has a regular programme of monitoring and meeting with listed companies which we have introduced to our clients at IPO or when they were conducting a private placement. This report provides a brief account of recent developments relating to each company, in relation to the original investment proposition. You will also find the latest broker targets where available as well as a share price graph and links to the recent company announcements. This is not research, it is not a buy list, and these are not recommendations. Clients with an advisory mandate in place with LGB may contact us for opinions on the companies mentioned here.

The companies we follow contain a mix of more mature businesses with proven managements and track records, with some higher risk emerging companies with cutting edge technology or expertise, as well as a couple of investment funds aiming at otherwise hard-to- access areas of the market.

Please note that LGB has received fees from some of the companies mentioned in connection with equity and debt placings, and LGB directors and staff may hold positions in them.
