INTRODUCTION

BRIEF HISTORY

Board of Directors

The original business involving the ownership of rubber estates in Malaysia was established in 1910. Majedie was the name of one of the rubber plantations. Over time the business evolved into an investment company and obtained investment trust status on 1 October 1985.

  • Majedie Investment PLC (the Company) is a listed public limited company whose shares trade on the London Stock Exchange.

  • The Company's objective is both to deliver long-term capital growth whilst preserving shareholders’ capital and to pay a regular dividend.

  • The Company’s investment portfolio is managed by Marylebone Partners LLP (Marylebone).

  • The performance target is to achieve net annualised total returns (in GBP) of at least 4% above the UK CPI over rolling five-year periods.

  • The Company’s strategy is to create a balanced portfolio of investments that is diversified both across asset classes and by geography. The holdings will be focussed on the following three main segments:

    1. Special Investments: opportunities including co-investments, special-purpose vehicles and thematic funds. These eclectic and episodic opportunities are generally hard-to-access investments targeting potential IRRs of 20%. or better. These investments may be somewhat illiquid in nature, with an expected duration of 24 to 36 months.

    2. External Managers: allocations to pooled vehicles managed by third parties. These funds pursue fundamental strategies; and

    3. Direct Investments: targeted investments in listed securities, predominantly equities.

     

  • In an alignment of interest, the Company is a partner of Marylebone entitling it to 7.5% of residual profits and capital.
