Further Update on Litigation with Titan
Tavistock Investments Plc has successfully expanded its legal claims against Titan Wealth Services Limited and Titan Asset Management Limited, following a court ruling on December 11, 2025, which favoured Tavistock. The company can now pursue new actions related to Titan's Model Portfolio Service (MPS) for breach of confidence, misuse of trade secrets, and copyright infringement, despite Titan's strong opposition. The judge noted that Titan's attempts to block these claims appeared designed to "snuff-out" a viable case and expressed satisfaction that the copyright infringement claim has a "real, as opposed to fanciful, prospect of success."

About this update from Tavistock Investments Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nTavistock Investments Plc\n \n(\"Tavistock\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\")\n \n5th February 2026\n FURTHER UPDATE ON LITIGATION WITH TITAN\n \nFurther to statements released on 16 and 17 December 2025, Tavistock wishes to appraise its shareholders and the market further regarding the expanded scope of its counterclaims against Titan Wealth Services Limited and Titan Asset Management Limited (\"Titan\") following the Court's judgement in Tavistock's favour on 11 December 2025.

That is not an approach that the Court should, or does, countenance.\"\nIn relation to Tavistock's copyright infringement claim, the Judge further commented: \"[the Court is] satisfied that the copyright infringement claim stands a real, as opposed to fanciful, prospect of success.\"\nBrian Raven, Tavistock's Chief Executive stated: \"When we agreed our contract with Titan in 2021, it was offered the opportunity to acquire Tavistock's Model Portfolio Service (\"MPS\") but declined to do so. It is therefore particularly disappointing that we have now had to include these new causes of action in respect of Titan's MPS, the significance of which is perhaps best demonstrated by the substantial amount that Titan spent in its failed attempt to prevent these matters coming before the Court.\"\n \nTavist...
