Some people are absolutely deluded. ALGW will not leverage when they can raise a tonne of cash to continue to support their lifestyle company. I know a lot more about this company than you think. This is the biggest lifestyle company on the stock exchange, rinsing shareholders day in and day out.

ALGW seem to have a history of quite big moves followed by a relatively slow sell off. Been underwater here for quite some time and have considered taking the hit and moving on, But on reflection, will stick with it for now.

Latest broker note issued by Allenby this morning in case anyone hasn't seen it: https://www.allenbycapital.com/client/alpha-growth-plc/Some positive highlights:- The previous successful acquisition completions which "appear to have alerted sellers and regulatorsof similar businesses to ALGW's intent, with management reporting that it is being presented with similar opportunities on a regular basis, some of which are actively under review."- "The group's focus during H1 23 was (a) a potential new acquisition, (b) integration of AILAC and Havelet, acquired in Q4 2022, and (c) marketing the Interval Fund. The interim numbers only reflect the integration work as the acquisition is still subject to due diligence". So if DD is happening that presumably means a Letter of Intent has been signed and we could see completion of this acquisition in the next few months- And key for me: "ALGW does however have sufficient cashflow to cover ongoing corporate expenses and costs related to reviewing prospective acquisitions and carrying out legal due diligence. The group has three stable cash generative businesses/products comprising two life companies (Alpha International Life Assurance Company and Providence Life Assurance Company Fund) and a liability assignment business (Havelet Assignment Company Ltd)."Of course not all a bed of roses - "ALGW's current business is self-financing despite what it acknowledges has been a disappointing take-up for its two investment strategies. These have met performance targets but not as yet seen the expected demand. It remains committed to growing these funds but in order to reduce near term reliance on this product line, reformulated its business plan to focus on its M&A activity and continue to operate close to break-even" We discussed this possibility at the AGM earlier in the year so not a surprise. Focussing purely on M&A in the short term definitely feels like the right approach.

Some good discussion at the AGM and also some robust questioning from shareholders around sentiment and communications.

The full board were present this time with Gobind, Jason, Neil and also Mark T from IR in the room. All three answered questions and spoke passionately about the progress they are making. The Board also spoke about the additions to the team in the past 12 months with Chad focussing on streamlining the funds business and establishing relationships with RIA in the US to market the interval fund. They highlighted the positive news of Dan Gray taking stock in the ALGW group as a whole rather than just PLAC. He's clearly a global leader in the insurance market which is reflected in his position as a Blackrock Operating Partner and I'm sure they'll be using his contacts and knowledge to accelerate.

Allenby were in the room and made a really positive contribution initially giving a general update on macro and market sentiment and also an indication of the status of some of the discussions that are in-flight with potential new investors.

It was put to the Board that shareholder sentiment had probably never been lower. Part of the Boards response was interesting as they said that from their perspective sentiment was wider than just shareholders and actually within the insurance / funds markets the company is starting to get noticed and is well thought of. They said that they are increasingly being approached by 3rd parties looking to collaborate on different ideas.

It was clear from those discussions and discussions around comms that the Boards current view is that their priority should be on growing the business. They feel that no amount of communication/PR from them on its own would lead to a significant re-rate and instead they would rather focus on growing the business and allow the market to catch-up in its own time. I don't fully agree with this "Field of Dreams" approach but equally if, as expected, the company posts a very strong profit in the HY and FY results this year I do think that the market will definitely take note. The company definitely also feel that keeping a lower profile is helping them when it comes to achieving competitively priced acquisitions and they are nervous about oversharing and tipping off potential competitors.

There was a discussion around profitability and the ability of the company to self-fund further acquisitions. The Board confirmed that the company is profit making, the balance sheet is strong and that they expected to be able to fund acquisitions of the size and scale of the last couple of insurance ones using the revenue coming into the company or by leveraging the balance sheet. They confirmed there is no reliance on the 3p Warrants and there are no plans for any other kind of raises.

The Boards focus remains on growing the business and the company eventually becoming a takeover target and it sounded like the 2B plan was definitely still on track to be achieved by 2025 at the latest. Back of cigarette packet assuming similar profitability as the current insurance/fund mix I make $2B AUM to be worth maybe £15m-18m revenue. £7m profit. If dilution broadly continues as it has been a PE of 12 and a 30% takeover premium would put a target price of 12p-20p depending on what Cost of Sales and Opex ended up looking like. I'd be happy with that, especially if it comes sooner than later. Have added 2m more over the past few weeks at 2.1-2.2p and now a few shares under 3%/TR1.

Pretty consistent buying volume this week. Given Dan Gray just took his 5% of Northstar in ALGW group shares at 2.6p and Jason Sutherland took shares for services provided at 2.45p its not surprising people are taking the opportunity to acquire below their prices. Not often PIs get the opportunity to buy cheaper than members of a companies board. Dan now has exposure to the performance of the full group of companies and not just Northstar. He would only do this if he was going to make significant gains by doing so. Given he is a very smart and capable individual who founded Northstar and is currently an executive partner of a major global asset manager this seems like a smart move. The company can benefit from his contacts and experience to take ALGW to the next level and the fact he is being compensated in shares is very positive. I was poking around on LinkedIn earlier in the week and noticed Jason has left his CEO role at DRB Capital and is full-time with Alpha. Given he was with DRB for about 9.5 years it looks like good news he's doubling down here. The spread is starting to tick up but still below Dan and Jasons prices. We just need some newsflow and deal progress and these low prices will be gone.

I'm not sure that someone who has made 77 posts on LSE in 4 years could be classed as a knowledgeable poster:
1: The company is listed on the LSE and has no presence in the United Kingdom, as do many companies on the LSE, including FTSE100 companies, just as there are companies listed on the NASDAQ who have no presence in the US. A stock market listing is merely a method of enabling trading of a company stock, the jurisdiction is irrelevant.

2.Having a presence in so called tax havens is irrelevant, in fact it could well be advantageous from a business perspective.

3.The move from life settlements towards a more traditional insurance business? Clearly this not so knowledgeable poster doesn't understand that the insurance policies are underwritten through life insurance policies, therefore remains uncorrelated.

4.They do indeed expect to sell the business to a larger finance house, they have never said they will not pay a dividend they have clearly stated that at this time they do not expect to pay a dividend, as is the norm for growth companies, monies are better spent on growing the company rather than paying what would be relatively small dividends.

5.They have made it clear that they don't expect to have to raise capital for future acquisitions. They have also made it clear that should the right opportunity arise then they would consider a raise for such an accretive acquisition opportunity

6.If the company went private then they would STILL be bound by the UK takeover panel rules: The City Code does not apply to private companies which have their registered offices in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man UNLESS there has been some public trading or marketing of their shares in the previous ten years
