Portfolio manager succession - timetable

The Directors of the Edinburgh Investment Trust plc ("the Company") confirm that, in-line with the statement issued on 3 October 2023, Imran Sattar will become the Company's portfolio manager on 6 February 2024.

As portfolio manager, Imran will continue to apply the same flexible investment process that has been the hallmark of the portfolio since March 2020. Other than the change of portfolio manager, there will be no change to the Company's two investment objectives, strategy or the portfolio's key features - namely a high conviction portfolio of 40 to 50 differentiated holdings, primarily invested in UK equities, underpinned by fundamental company research.

The Directors also announce that from 6 February 2024 Emily Barnard will be the Company's deputy portfolio manager. Emily is a Fund Manager on Liontrust's Global Fundamental team with nine years of investment experience. Emily joined Liontrust in April 2022 as part of the acquisition of Majedie Asset Management where she was an Equity Analyst for six years. Prior to joining Majedie in 2016, Emily completed a two year rotational graduate programme at the Wellcome Trust, focusing on equity analysis. Emily holds a Master of Physics degree in Theoretical Physics from Durham University, is a CFA charterholder and holds the CFA Certificate in ESG Investing.

Notes

The Company's twin objectives are (1) an increase of the Net Asset Value per share in excess of the growth of the FTSE All-Share index and (2) growth in dividends per share in excess of the rate of inflation. To achieve this, the portfolio manager constructs a high-conviction, differentiated and diversified portfolio of listed equities. The investment approach is flexible and 'total return', i.e. shareholder returns should come through a combination of income and capital growth over the long term. Stocks that might be labelled 'growth', 'value' and 'recovery' may all be held. At least 80% of assets are invested in UK-listed shares.
