The client, an investment trust listed on the FTSE 250, wanted to undertake a comprehensive review and repositioning exercise as part of an ambition to become a ‘go-to’ investment trust in the UK market, aimed primarily at the UK retail investor.
ApproachJPES conducted in-depth competitor research into other similar investment trusts, producing a full report of analysis and findings on how the client compared to its identified peer group. We undertook a detailed perception audit of key audiences, including institutional, wealth management and wholesale to identify current views, familiarity and attitudes.
