The transaction reduces the number of shares available in public circulation, while the trust continues to invest across public and private growth companies. Its October portfolio update described AI infrastructure, chips, power, data centers, robotics and software as parts of an evolving investment landscape, and said capital was being recycled from existing winners into new opportunities.

The trust's own investor materials list total assets of GBP 18.7 billion and shareholders' funds of GBP 18.1 billion as of September 30, 2026. They also report ongoing charges of 0.33 percent as of March 31, 2026. The same materials identify overseas securities, private companies and gearing as specific risks.
