Waters Technology article from 5 June saying that ARC is seeking to position itself as an "exclusive" distributor of information from central banks, which will make distribution of market-moving information from central banks fairer than current practices. Any views on whether this is the catalyst to accelerate sales and improve profitability? Still trying to figure out the reason that Anthony Cross has taken 11% of this company.

Worth reading this about Anthony Cross- a very successful fund manager.
Has been stake building recently. I wonder what he knows about this tiny company with a market cap of just £3 million.

Is this the same Anthony Cross ? Eitherway, a solid vote of confidence and expect to see good volumes today..."Manager profileAnthony Cross joined Schroder Investment Management as a graduate trainee. He spent his first three years as an equity analyst before joining the Smaller Companies team in 1994. During this time, Anthony identified a number of characteristics common to successful companies and on joining Liontrust in 1997 he was able to develop his thoughts further and create a documented investment process.This process, called Liontrust Economic Advantage, was applied to the Liontrust UK Smaller Companies Fund from the start of 1998. Its success and relevance to the broader market led to the launch of the Liontrust Special Situations Fund in 2005 and the management of the Liontrust UK Growth Fund in 2009. Awards for the funds that Anthony co-manages with Julian Fosh include Liontrust being named Best UK Equity Group by Money Observer magazine, the Liontrust Special Situations Fund being named: Best UK Growth fund at the Investment Week Fund Manager of the Year Awards in 2011 and 2012; Best UK Growth Fund at What Investment magazine; Best Fund in the UK All Companies Sector at the Moneywise Fund Awards 2012; and won the UK Equity Gold Award 2012 from Portfolio Adviser.

You would have thought that news would have sparked some renewed interest.. early days I guess..

Anthony Cross buys 167 million shares! This fund manager knows what he's doing. Will make this a more stable share as yet more shares are swallowed up by the Institutions.

Yesterday's trades represented 13% of the company. Arcontech Group aren't usually in a hurry to release news about contracts, but it does look like that someone/ group has bought in a decent stake. Nevertheless, certain thresholds would have been breached, so holdings rns could be forthcoming.

[oilbuy] 09/5/2014 10:42

11% Have directors bought up another holding?

[skier100] 09/5/2014 08:30

Some gigantic trades in ARC again this week. Something is brewing.

[harebridge] 08/5/2014 18:36

Ok WTF! Can't be rollovers, all at the same price. Maybe just a transfer of shares from one market maker to another. Could get a holdings rns...

That's 13% of the companies shares changing hands.
