Literacy Capital plc

Literacy Capital is a closed-end investment company focused on investing in and supporting UK businesses and helping their management teams to achieve long-term success. We are also unique in that we are the only investment fund of our type to have been set up with a charitable objective. We have a much more flexible approach than is typical in the investment industry. This gives us the capability to take a longer term view and creates better alignment with our stakeholders, including the companies we invest in and our own shareholders. Literacy Capital also has a unique charitable objective which it actively supports, as it makes donations amounting to 0.9% of net assets each year to UK literacy charities. Approximately £2m has been donated by Literacy Capital since inception.
