Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox company AVI Global Trust is a London-based British investment trust. The company is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.[1] The chairman is Graham Kitchen.[2]

History

The company was established in 1889 as the Transvaal Mortgage Loan and Finance Company,[3] led by chairman W.J. Thompson,[4] and invested in what is now South Africa.[3]

It was renamed the British Empire Land Mortgage and Loan Company in 1906, and British Empire Securities and General Trust in 1964.[5]

Asset Value Investors, an employee-owned management company, was established to manage the firm, then valued at £6 million, in 1985.[6]

The company's goal of acquiring other companies trading below their Net Asset Value led it to attempt takeovers of other investment trusts trading at a discount.[3] In 1986, the company acquired Ashdown Investment Trust for £66 million.[7] In 1989, it mounted a hostile takeover bid for Schroder Global Trust: it had been building up a stake in the target company over a two-year period.[8] In 1995, it acquired the Selective Assets Trust (formerly the Edinburgh Assets Trust)[9] for £42 million.[7]

It simplified its name from British Empire Securities and General Trust to British Empire Trust in 2015.[5]

In 2016, the activist US hedge fund, Elliott Management Corporation, built up a large stake in the company.[10][11][12][13] The investment was seen as one of Elliott's successful investment positions in the UK.[14]

It changed its name from British Empire Trust to AVI Global Trust in May 2019.[15][16]

Between 2019 and 2020, the company invested heavily in SoftBank Group and other Japanese stocks.[17] The company's strategy has been to take advantage of Softbank's share buyback programme.[18][19] This has supported the company's market capitalisation on the London Stock Exchange which was £751 million in July 2020.[20] It has also built up a significant holding in Pershing Square Holdings, a hedge fund.[21]

ESG Investing

AVI became signatories of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in April 2021.[22]
