Investment Objective & Strategy

Odyssean Investment Trust PLC ("OIT" or the "Company") is a closed-ended investment company that seeks to generate attractive total returns principally through capital growth over a medium term.

OIT's investment strategy is to invest in a concentrated portfolio of well researched quoted UK smaller companies, typically too small for inclusion in the FTSE 250. These companies will be selected through a rigorous process, and all have potential to generate improved returns to their shareholders. OIT is actively managed. OIT may, from time to time, utilise short term gearing for working capital and/or investment purposes.

Constructive corporate engagement is a key part of Odyssean's approach, drawing on the investment team's lengthy and successful track record in public and private equity investing.

Key Risk Considerations
  • Investment in OIT may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.

  • Shares of OIT may trade either below (at a discount) or above (at a premium) the Net Asset Value ("NAV") for a variety of reasons. On a sale you could realise less than the NAV and less than you initially invested.

  • OIT's portfolio is focused towards small and mid-sized companies, which may involve a higher degree of risk than larger sized companies. The shares of smaller companies may be less liquid and more volatile than those of larger companies.

  • OIT holds a concentrated portfolio (no more than 25 companies). This means that the portfolio carries a higher degree of stock-specific risk than a more diversified portfolio and a material decline in the value of one investment in the portfolio could have a significant impact on the overall value of the portfolio and the share price of OIT.

  • OIT's exposure to a single market and a small number of sectors may increase risk.

  • Gearing, if utilised, will magnify gains or losses experienced by OIT.

  • OIT will pay interest on its borrowings. As such, it is exposed to interest rate risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing market rates.

  • There is no guarantee that the investment objective of OIT will be achieved.
