Bramson vehicle buys more shares in F&C

Tue, 15th Mar 2011 17:05

F&C Asset Management chairman Edward Bramson's investment vehicle SIGA LP has acquired more shares in the asset management company. Bramson was appointed chairman of F&C last month after a shareholder coup removed the previous incumbent, along with another non-executive, and appointed three new directors, including Bramson. SIGA has acquired 125,852 shares at 77.59p each. That cost £97,649 and followed the purchase of 265,000 shares at 77.79p each on Friday. SIGA has invested just over £300,000 in F&C shares in the past few days. SIGA owns around 18.1% of F&C and this is also deemed to be Bramson's holding. SIGA uses funds supplied by AIM-quoted Sherborne Investors to invest in F&C. The F&C share price has been falling back in recent weeks and it is around 10% lower over the past month. There are concerns that some asset management clients will desert F&C."Our focus now is to build on the things that work well at F&C and to improve the group's financial performance, which will create value for shareholders," according to Bramson when the company released its 2010 figures last Wednesday. A profit before tax a year ago was turned to a loss of £19.2m this time. The previous year's number benefited from a £27.9m debt exchange programme. Assets under management rose to £105.8bn from £97.8bn at the end of 2009, helped by £4.2bn from the acquisition of Thames River Capital in September. Net revenues increased to £243.2m from £225.1m, including performance related management fees of £12.9m, down from £18.7m the year before.
