Polar Capital has repurchased 20,000 of its own 2.5p ordinary shares under the share buyback programme launched in January, paying a volume-weighted average price of 776.4647p via Deutsche Numis. The shares will be cancelled, reducing the company’s issued share capital to 100,375,790 ordinary shares, a move that marginally increases earnings per share and may signal confidence in the company’s valuation to investors.
