Lloyd Fonds - On the front foot

There is a new mood of optimism at Lloyd Fonds. After last year’s missed profit forecasts and strategic disagreement, current ambitious restructuring of its business activities and senior management has been welcomed by investors, as evident in the recent successful €4m equity issue. By repositioning towards open-end liquid investment products, Lloyd Fonds seeks to reduce reliance in particular on its core shipping market, which remains very challenging. Pending implementation of these changes (further details due at the imminent AGM), 2018 guidance is for net profit slightly below the depressed level of 2017 (€1.4m).
