n the latest of our Meet the Manager series, we met with Nick Hawthorn, Fund Manager at Downing Fund Managers. Having joined the group in 2015, Nick co-manages the Downing AIM IHT and ISA portfolio service and the Downing Strategic Micro-Cap Investment Trust.
In this video interview with Intelligent Partnership, Nick sat down with us to take a closer look at Downing’s AIM IHT strategies and give an insight into what makes them different to other providers in the space.
The one thing I would look for in a manager is the type of person who has the time and is willing to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with companies.

The clearer market environment post-Brexit, as well as a tighter grip on the pandemic, creates an outlook conducive to increased listings on AIM.

Smaller stakes have little choice
Unfortunately, individual retail investors are unlikely to hold a large enough stake to change the outcome of these votes. But, on the other hand, in the vast majority of takeovers seen in the first half of 2021, there was a substantial bid premium where the share price increased during the offer period. The highest was an eye-watering 79%, although more commonly, it was in the lower, but still very pleasing 20% - 50% range.
