Trading update

The Company has continued to expand and develop its loan book, maximise shareholder returns and further establish its place in the market segment.

The Group continues to widen and deepen its relationships with its broker network to identify suitable lending opportunities and is maintaining a regular dialogue with providers of wholesale funding to maintain the financing flexibility required to help the business grow.

 Agam Jain, CEO of Vector Capital will make the following statement at the AGM:

“We have traded strongly in Q1 2022 and our pipeline of new loan opportunities remains strong despite increasing competition in the market and the general uncertain economic climate. The proven strength and resilience of the loan management systems that we utilise underpins our ability to grow.

“The Group remains well placed to benefit from these opportunities to increase market share and grow revenue and we remain on track to establish ourselves as the lender of choice in our market segment. The Board is confident that the Group is well placed to achieve continued success and we view the future with confidence and optimism.”
