In an Exciting Move, Schroder AsiaPacific Fund Buys Own Shares to Boost Investor Confidence

In an intriguing turn of events, Schroder AsiaPacific Fund PLC announced on Monday 14 July 2025 that it purchased 67,500 of its ordinary shares at a price of 569 pence per share. The shares are to be cancelled, pointing to the fund’s robust internal confidence and faith in its potential. Following this purchase, the Company’s issued share capital consists of 136,776,554 ordinary shares of 10p each. Interestingly, the total number of shares in the treasury is zero and the total number of voting rights in the Company stands at 136,776,554. These figures can be used by shareholders as the base for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company. Movements of such nature on behalf of the holder companies are typically seen as confidence-boosting measures and are often indicative of solid internal trust. Therefore, the move could potentially see a positive impact on the company’s share prices in the near future. Schroder Investment Management Limited is managing the enquiries related to this transaction. No doubt, Schroder’s latest move will keep the industry’s eyes focused on it for the next few weeks.
