top share holders rab capital

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone noticed that RAB Capital is the number 2 shareholder of THR (15.4 million shares - 11.9%).

RAB Capital is involved in a number of the Lundin companies worldwide in Mining and Oil & Gas. See information on RAB Capital below.

It does beg the question "Why would someone like RAB Capital be a major shareholder in Thro?". Time will tell.....


Cheers,

Brantley

The Company started trading in June 1999 and launched its first fund, RAB Europe Fund, in November 1999.


RAB Capital specialises in managing absolute return funds, often referred to as 'hedge' funds.


Hedge funds represent an alternative to traditional debt and equity fund investments. Generally, their investment objective is to produce steady absolute returns on invested capital rather than to outperform a benchmark (e.g. an index or basket of similar funds). Unlike traditional 'long only' funds, hedge funds may use hedging strategies (e.g. short selling, options and futures) and leverage. Alternative investments constitute one of the fastest growing sectors of the investment management industry.


We currently manage fifteen hedge fund strategies, five Fund of Funds and an AIM-listed closed-end investment company, the RAB Special Situations Company. Through our Northwest Investment Management subsidiary, we manage a further four hedge fund strategies. RAB Capital also provides advisory and distribution services within the hedge fund industry.
