Company Portfolio Investors NewsroomContact Portfolio Equity Investments The Equity investment categories consists of two parts: Active; and Passive. Active Active investments are typically larger investments where Metal Tiger seeks to positively influence the management of investee companies by providing oversight and guidance at Board level to enhance shareholder value. Usually Metal Tiger takes a greater than 10% and either takes a Board seat as part of the investment and/or obtains formal Board representation rights as long as it maintains a certain percentage holding. As an example, Metal Tiger has had success with this strategy in Greatland Gold plc (AIM: GGP) and MOD Resources Limited (now Sandfire Resources Limited, ASX: SFR). Holding a greater than 10% stake for more than one year can confer certain tax advantages for Metal Tiger upon an eventual profitable exit.
