James Stenson – CEO – LSMIF

At our most recent fund meeting (30/01/2019) we discussed the changes to our fund and what the future holds for LSMIF.

The use of short-lists was welcomed by the fund. Whereby we the fund have selected a portfolio of ~40 companies that we are interested in. All future investments will be raised from this short-list. The short-list will be updated and maintained periodically to remain accurate and current.

Here is a small extract from one company within our short-list:

The fund also has great pleasure in announcing the joining of two new members.

Michael Martin –  Governance Msc

Joel Parramore – Economics and Finance Bsc

A big welcome to both new members! Both members will be joining us on a trial period and we look forward to having both Martin and Joel involved within the fund.

Important Dates:
Fund Meeting – 20th of February 2019
Investment Committee Meeting – 27th of February 2019
Board of Advisors meeting to be scheduled in March 2019.

Things are getting busy for the fund and we’re excited to be pushing forwards with our new plans and raising some investments in the near future.

James Stenson – CEO – LSMIF

A Happy New Year to you all,

LSMIF has been very busy over the Christmas period. We are excited to announce some major restructuring in the fund.

We have reduced our membership numbers significantly.

Leadership team:
James Stenson – CEO
Finely Kneafsey – CFO
Szymon Olizarowicz – CIO

Portfolio Manager(s):
James Boyle – Portfolio 1

Analysts:
Jurijs Fedorenko
Benjamin Omotayo
Christopher Denyer
Nathan Smith

The above members form the core of our fund. We have decided to focus on one portfolio and grow the fund from this point. This means membership within the fund is very competitive and thus the quality is of a very high standard.

These are exciting times as the fund will expand in the near future whilst maintaining the high quality and pursuit of excellence that we strive to achieve.

Thank you,

James – CEO

Here at the Lincoln Student Managed Investment Fund we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We’ve had an exciting start to the fund and there are plenty of opportunities to be taken in the new year. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the hard work that has gone into getting LSMIF up and running.

We’ve raised our first investment in the company Ashtead Group PLC.

This is just the beginning and we will continue making the best possible investments we can based on our judgement and input from our supervisory team.

A huge thank you to our Board of Advisor’s, Brewin and Dolphin and Dr Hao Quach. This wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Thank you all and have a great break!

James Stenson – CEO

The first Investment Committee Meeting has now concluded. We are very grateful for all those that attended this meeting. We are especially grateful to our external guests, some of which travelled significant distance to view our presentation.

The event started with introductions and a  meet in greet session in which all members of the LSMIF team were able to meet our external Board of Advisors.This included; (pictured left to right)
Mr. David Spokes of Brewin Dolphin, Assistant Director & Investment Manager
Mr. Bob Woods of Mattioli Woods, Founder & Senior Advisor
Mr. Howard Gannaway of University of Lincoln, LIBS Advisor

Joining the external board the University of Lincoln Head of Department for Accountancy, Finance and Economics and our Internal Advisor, Mrs. Siobhan Goggin (pictured left). Our Head of Department presented a fantastic welcoming speech which kick started the event.

Now LSMIF’s turn to present. James Stenson, CEO, started the LSMIF introduction and explained the history of the fund, the aims, the goals and what the core values of the fund are. This introduction was finalised with some information regarding policies that help to govern the fund and a thank you to our sponsors, Brewin Dolpin and Dr. Hao Quach.

The CFO, Finley Kneafsey, then discussed our marketing strategy. This included how we intend to currently raise capital, and what our plans for the future entail. The CFO then introduced our CIO, Szymon Olizarowicz whom spoke in great detail about our current plans for investment and overall strategy.

LSMIF’s Portfolio Managers were next to present and each Portfolio Manager performed admirably and explained clearly, in high levels of detail what their portfolio represented, what markets they were interested within and finally a shortlist of equities that they were intrigued by.

The event concluded with a discussion with the panel of Board of Advisors. This was exceptionally helpful and the feedback received was superb. LSMIF are now aware of areas in which we can seek improvement.

We fully intend to listen to all feedback received and take the necessary action for implementation of the advice offered.

Thank you very much everyone for your attendance.

We are very grateful and very lucky to have such an experienced team interested within our fund. We hope to see you at our next function.

Kind regards,

James Stenson – CEO
