Shaires Holdings Ltd announced an initial portfolio with total commitments of up to $86.7 million, giving investors exposure to private technology and artificial intelligence companies including Anthropic, Stripe, ByteDance, Moonshot AI, Figure AI, SandboxAQ and Colossal Biosciences. The AIM-listed London investment company also launched a UK retail WRAP offer through Marex Financial at $20.00 per share, matching its recently announced $28.5 million institutional placing, and said it aims to raise a total of $100 million across its first and second institutional fundraisings, the retail offer and initial in-kind contributions. Trading in the company’s shares entered a voluntary capital access period from 7:30 a.m. until a further announcement on the closing of the retail offer, a mechanism designed to widen participation during the fundraising. Shaires said it is also in advanced talks on additional investments and contributions as it seeks to build a portfolio of more than $500 million in the near term, although it said there is no certainty any of those opportunities will complete.
