Publication of 'The Insight' Newsletter
Mercia Asset Management PLC (AIM: MERC), the proactive, regionally focused specialist asset manager with c.£948million of assets under management, is pleased to announce publication of the latest edition of its newsletter 'The Insight'.
The Insight newsletter can be found here: https://www.mercia.co.uk/the-insight-4/
This edition of The Insight has a focus on Deep Tech and includes commentary from Dr Mark Payton, CEO, on the challenges and opportunities that both society and businesses face in an increasingly complex geopolitical and economic environment. The Insight also explores the bold yet patient approach required when investing in Deep Tech and how this sector, and Mercia's approach, is increasingly relevant as the UK looks to align its technology vision with the levelling up agenda.
Dr Mark Payton, CEO of Mercia, commented: "We are pleased to share this latest issue of The Insight. In particular, we shine a spotlight on Deep Tech and how, at a time when investor interest in this sector is increasing, Mercia's track record as an early advocate and its strong current investment pipeline positions us well to capitalise on the opportunity this presents. As always, we hope you enjoy reading The Insight."
