Foresight Group Holdings Limited (LSE: FSG), a prominent investment manager focusing on real assets and growth capital, has initiated a share buyback program as part of its strategic investment approach. This program, first announced on October 27, 2023, has been extended multiple times to ensure its ongoing effectiveness in managing the company’s equity.
Details of the Share Buyback
Through Deutsche Numis, Foresight has actively purchased shares in order to bolster shareholder value and manage its capital more effectively. The recent purchase occurred on March 17, 2025, where the company acquired a total of 24,953 ordinary shares.
