The European Smaller Companies Trust PLC
Proposed tender offer for up to 42.5% of the issued share capital
Overview
The European Smaller Companies Trust aims to turn investments in Europe’s dynamic smaller businesses into capital growth. Evidence shows that smaller companies have historically achieved greater growth, as a group, than their larger peers. That’s why the trust’s team of expert managers harness regional experience and diverse information sources to find Europe’s undiscovered and promising businesses.
Investment Objective: The Company seeks capital growth by investing in smaller and medium sized companies which are quoted, domiciled, listed or have operations in Europe (excluding the UK).
