“We are seeing growing interest in this Fund and are encouraged by the support from consultants, advisers and investment platforms that have listed the Fund to their investment menu,” DNR Capital’s chief executive, Robert White, said.
“DNR Capital has generated a consistent track record of outperformance over the last 16 years, and we are confident of repeating this in the small cap sector.”
