Agronomics boosts Marlborough’s Micro Cap fund
Agronomics (ANIC), which specialises in investing in plant-based and lab-grown meat, has boosted the Marlborough UK Micro Cap Growth fund’s recent returns as consumers become more discerning about their food’s impact on the environment.
The group was the biggest contributor for the £1.5bn fund in April, with the shares jumping 65% as two of its investee companies, Meatable and LiveKindly, announced ‘supportive funding rounds’, said manager Guy Feld.
‘With consumer preferences changing and food technology rapidly advancing, Agronomics is well-placed to capitalise on the plant-based revolution,’ said the Citywire AA-rated manager.
Shares in Agronomics closed up 3.5%, or 0.9p, at 24.9p on Thursday after heavier losses earlier in the week.
