Investor Workshop 2012
YFM’s 17th investor workshop took place on Thursday 9 February 2012. This year it was held at the Royal College of Surgeons in Lincoln Inn Field. London.
These events always attract well in excess of 100 Shareholders who are interested in finding out more about their Company, industry knowledge and to hear from investee companies. The guest speakers at this event were:
-
Andy Micklethwaite – CEO and Sara Hildreth – Retail Director of Bagel Nash - an investment made in July 2011
-
Kathryn Robertson from HM Revenue & Customs
David Hall, Managing Director of YFM Equity Partners gave the last presentation, updating shareholders on their Companies and the Fund Manager. To view a copy of David's presentation click here.
For the first time this year we ran break-out sessions for Shareholders. This was as a result of a small shareholder survey that was conducted towards the end of last year in which they said that they wanted to understand more about the Fund Manager, how YFM makes its investments and what we do to look after and manage our investee companies.
Here are few comments from the attendees at the Workshop:
“All (presentations) were very interesting and useful in their own ways. The balance of (a) a talk about tax/legal framework relating to VCTs (b) A case study and (c) a review of the strategic and financial performance of the BSC VCTs was excellent, as were the number and quality of the related questions from the audience”
“Thanks for a most interesting and satisfactory day!”
