Aww thanks, Docdaneeka!
Re Polar, I don’t take their selling too seriously. As mentioned previously, I meet fund managers very regularly. Some are genuinely fantastic (Gervais Williams for UK small cap stocks springs to mind) but others are definitely not. Yes, they may have a bit of a team behind them but having met another UK small cap manager just before Christmas, the very small holdings (of which SNG is for Polar) don’t take too much of their focus. Sure, they’ll have the bat phone to get through to management, but they’ll be given about as much info as the good doctor over at WebMD gets for his interview.
The team here at LSE, Reddit, Twitter etc I can assure you will put more into investigation and research than many a fund would. I’m blown away by some of the things people dig up sometimes!
I have lots of reasons why I think SNG will succeed, but the US backing and wanting to see us succeed is a big one. As is the fact we still haven’t got a fully trialled, Covid specific therapeutic to use. That (I hope) could give us some wiggle room to maybe not even have mind blowing results and still be used.
