David Lanzon, Senior Portfolio Manager, ReAPS Asset Management, presenting a session to MASS members attending the Financial Literacy Programme.
ReAPS Asset Management recently contributed to the Malta Association of Small Shareholders’ (MASS) ongoing Financial Literacy Programme with a focused presentation on share buybacks – an increasingly relevant topic for investors. The session was held at the Malta Stock Exchange, Valletta.
The presentation, delivered by David Lanzon, Senior Portfolio Manager at ReAPS, provided an in-depth examination of share repurchases, including their mechanics, their effect on shareholder wealth, and the regulatory safeguards governing such transactions. Drawing on local case studies, participants discussed the challenges present in the Maltese equity market and assessed the tangible impact of buyback programmes on the enhancement of shareholder value.
Josef Portelli, Managing Director at ReAPS commented:“Financial literacy is a cornerstone of informed decision-making. By equipping retail investors with a deeper understanding of buybacks, we aim to empower them to evaluate corporate actions with greater clarity. At ReAPS, we currently manage five funds, including our Income Fund which focuses on Maltese equity and bonds. Our thorough evaluation process ensures robust investment decisions and supports investor confidence.”
This initiative forms part of ReAPS Asset Management’s corporate social responsibility efforts to promote financial education and strengthen trust in Malta’s capital markets.
