Company history

From its origins in 1889, Law Debenture has diversified to become a group with
a unique range of activities in the financial services sector. The group
divides into two distinct complementary areas of business.

Firstly, we are a global investment trust, listed on the London Stock Exchange.
Our portfolio of investments is managed by Henderson Global Investors Limited
under a contract terminable by either side on 6 months' notice.

Secondly, we are a leading provider of independent fiduciary services. Our
activities are corporate trusts, treasury management and structured finance
administration, pension trusts, corporate services (including agent for service
of process) board effectiveness and whistle blowing services. We have offices
in London, Sunderland, New York, Delaware, Hong Kong and the Channel Islands.

Fund objective

Our objective is to achieve long term capital growth in real terms and steadily
increasing income. The aim is to achieve a higher rate of total return than the
FTSE All-Share Index through investing in a portfolio diversified both
geographically and by industry.
