Lanstead Capital

What is Lanstead Capital?

Lanstead Partners Ltd. is an investment firm that specializes in providing new equity capital to assist publicly listed companies in achieving their corporate objectives.

These objectives range from meeting growing working capital needs, supporting new plant and equipment investments, funding long-term research and development projects, to facilitating growth through mergers and strategic acquisitions. Lanstead Capital emphasizes their focus on developing long-term relationships with a select group of listed public companies and their brokers and advisers, primarily on equity investments in companies already listed on the LSE/AIM or European exchanges.

They look for management teams with a clear growth strategy and invest in most industries, with an adaptable approach to finance growth and a commitment to partnership over the longer term. Since 2007, Lanstead has completed over 70 new equity placings and targeted £100 million to invest across a global network. Their investment approach includes a unique sharing agreement designed to support a company's monthly cash requirements, promoting key growth and news flow milestones that are likely to positively impact the company's share price.

Lanstead's investment criteria are to invest in listed businesses worldwide with a focus on the LSE/AIM and the TSX, with investment amounts between £1 million and £15 million per placing. They deploy funds across a wide array of sectors globally, which include technology, natural resources, healthcare/life sciences, and renewables.

Additionally, they are open to considering meaningful shareholdings, up to 29.9% for LSE/AIM-listed companies. Many companies with Lanstead as a shareholder have benefited from the sharing agreement, receiving more cash than the original placement proceeds without issuing additional shares. With a strong, diverse team from backgrounds in global investments, fund management, and corporate broking, Lanstead has built a positive reputation in the market through ethical conduct and proven track records.
