About Polar Capital Global Financials

The Trust was launched in July 2013 as a lower-risk way for investors to get exposure to the global Financials sector and give UK investors the ability to diversify their exposure away from UK banks.
It was one of the most successful investment trust launches at the time. The Trust was launched with a fixed life to May 2020, providing certainty to investors through the opportunity to realise their investment at this time at net asset value. Shareholders subsequently supported a proposal to extend its life indefinitely, subject to regular tender offers at net asset value (less costs) every five years.

Following this first recent successful tender offer in June 2025, the Company continues to operate with the same team, process, and approach.
