The Board has been monitoring closely the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic upon the arrangements for the Company's upcoming AGM on 10 June 2021. It is very difficult to predict the extent to which regulations limiting public gatherings will be relaxed in the near future and travel will be permitted again. Therefore, in order to provide certainty, whilst encouraging and promoting interaction and engagement with our shareholders, the Board has decided to hold an interactive Online Shareholder Presentation which will be held at noon on Tuesday 25 May 2021.
At the presentation, shareholders will receive updates from the Chairman and Investment Manager and there will be the opportunity for an interactive question and answer session. The online presentation is being held ahead of the AGM to allow shareholders to submit their proxy votes prior to the AGM and we would encourage all shareholders to lodge their votes in advance in this manner.
Register nowAn update from our investment managers, Ben Ritchie and Georgina Cooper - 22 April 2021
Our outlook remains relatively unchanged. As we move through 2021 we can see increasing delivery of a significant rebound in global aggregate demand alongside a substantial recovery in corporate earnings as economies and companies start to lap the very weak figures of early 2020. However, the outlook as we move into 2022 and beyond is more variable and we are somewhat cautious on what may lie ahead, especially given the very strong rebound we have seen so far and how equity markets digest what may be a period of rising bond yields and higher near term inflation along with the potential for some disquiet at the state of government finances. As a result we remain happy to keep a balance to our overall positioning, giving ourselves the potential to perform in a range of market environments, looking to retain capital on the downside while aiming to participate in any upside that may develop.
