Notes to editors:

Avarae provides access for institutions and individuals wanting to diversify their investment portfolios away from the traditional asset classes such as equities, property and bonds without the need to be an expert in the coin-collecting sector.
The Company trades in rare, high quality antique coins and coin collections from across the world. It continues to build up an impressive portfolio of extremely high quality, rare coins which it intends to hold both for the long-term (i.e. 3 to 5 years), in order to achieve long-term capital growth for our shareholders, and also the short-term, in order to take advantage of short-term trading opportunities, as the market for rare coins continues to grow.
A principal objective of the Company is to achieve long-term capital growth through the appreciation in the value of the coins acquired. Since its formation in 2006, the Company has achieved a compound annual return of 9.5 per cent. The Company has no borrowings.
