The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Sutherland as an Executive Director. Jason is moving from being a non-executive director of the Company and in his executive role he will become more involved in the day-to-day operations and growth of the Company. Additionally, the Company welcomes Neil Warrender as the new Non-Executive Director. Neil is currently the Company Secretary and has been instrumental in advising on our back-office activities. Neil's background includes qualifying as a chartered accountant with a "Big 4" firm, a period working with the financial services regulator, and serving as financial controller and compliance officer of a hedge fund manager during a period of significant asset growth, rising from $500m to nearly $10bn.

 

For 2023, we continue with our 2B plan as previously announced - the 2B plan is Alpha Growth's strategy of achieving $2bn of assets under management by 2025. This strategy includes expanding our activities within the life insurance business and continuing with the growth of BlackOak Alpha Growth Fund and the Alpha Alternative Assets Fund.

 

Gobind Sahney, Executive Chairman commented, "I am very proud of what we have achieved in 2022 and look forward to an equally progressive 2023. Closing two asset accretive acquisitions, launching a new fund, and expanding the expertise of our management team, positions Alpha Growth in an industry leading capacity. I am very pleased to welcome Jason full time and look to Neil to continue bringing excellence to our team, furthermore I am excited about the opportunities that Alpha is well positioned to take advantage of in 2023 and beyond."

About Alpha Growth plc

Specialist in Longevity Assets

Alpha Growth plc is a financial advisory business providing specialist consultancy, advisory, and supplementary services to institutional and qualified investors globally in the multi-billion dollar market of longevity assets. Building on its well-established network, the Alpha Growth group has a unique position in the longevity asset services and investment business, as a listed entity with global reach. The group's strategy is to expand its advisory and business services via acquisitions and joint ventures in the UK and the US to attain commercial scale and provide holistic solutions to alternative asset institutional investors who are in need of specialised skills and unique access to deploy their financial resource in longevity assets.

Longevity Assets and Non-correlation

As a longevity asset, it is non-correlated to the real estate, equity capital and commodity markets.  Its value is a function of time because as time passes the value gets closer to the face value of the policy. Hence creating a steady increase in the net asset value of the investment. This makes it highly attractive to investors wishing to counteract volatility within an investment portfolio and add yield.

Note: The Company only advises on and manages Longevity Assets that originate in the USA where the structured and life settlement market is highly regulated.
