Foresight completes the sale of its public-markets division to Guinness

Foresight Group announced on 7 September 2026 that the sale of Foresight Capital Management to Guinness Global Investors has completed.

What transferred

The disposal includes all funds within the public-markets investment division. Foresight says the transfer leaves minimal stranded costs.

The transaction was originally announced on 11 June. Today's development is completion, rather than the initial agreement to sell.

Strategic impact

The sale allows the group to concentrate on Real Assets and Private Equity. The economic effect should be assessed through the proceeds, the earnings contribution that leaves the group and any costs that remain.

Today's short completion notice does not provide new consideration figures or a quantified earnings adjustment.

What to follow

The next financial update should make the continuing business easier to evaluate, including the revised revenue mix and cost base. Completion establishes the operational boundary; it does not by itself show whether the remaining portfolio will grow faster or earn higher returns.
