Change of management arrangements
17 December 2010
Further to the announcement on 8 November 2010 regarding the departure of the
Company's portfolio manager from Invesco Perpetual, the Board of Invesco
Perpetual AiM VCT plc (the "Company") has reviewed the Company's management
arrangements and decided, subject to finalisation of the necessary contracts,
to appoint Amati Global Investors Limited ("Amati") as the Company's new
investment manager.
The new management arrangements are expected to take effect early in the new
year and the Board will work with Invesco Perpetual and Amati to help ensure a
smooth transition of the Company's portfolio and administration. A further
announcement will be made when the transition is completed.
Amati is a leading AIM VCT fund manager and currently manages Amati VCT plc.
Amati won the investment management mandate for ViCTory VCT in March 2010 and
also manages the CF Amati UK Smaller Companies Fund. The day-to-day running of
Invesco AIM VCT will be carried out by Paul Jourdan and Douglas Lawson, who
together acquired Noble Fund Managers in January 2010 to form Amati, which is
now wholly owned by staff.
In anticipation of the continuation resolution to be put to the AGM next year,
the Board will work with the new investment manager to review options for the
Company's future and to identify an appropriate course of action for the
Company and shareholders.
The Board looks forward to working with the fund managers at Amati, who have a
good track record in AIM and small cap fund management and valuable experience
of taking over the management contract of an AIM VCT.
