Half-Year results; six months ended 30 June 2026

(AIM:BANK) Fiinu plc reported its unaudited half-year results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, highlighting substantial progress towards the first production deployment of the Plugin Overdraft® with Conister Bank, with implementation materially advanced and remaining work focused on launch preparation. The technology platform was further developed to support deployment across European Open Banking architectures and integration with partners' existing banking infrastructure. Following a detailed post-acquisition review, the Board took decisive steps to address legacy operational, financial, and governance matters within Everfex, strengthening governance, risk oversight, AML/compliance arrangements, credit controls, and operating procedures. The Group deployed capital and liquidity into continued development of the Plugin Overdraft® and supported the post-acquisition review of Everfex, while implementing measures to transition Everfex towards a leaner and increasingly self-funded operating model. Post period end, Fiinu and Conister Bank agreed an addendum to their Master Services Agreement, formalising an updated implementation timetable and long-term commercial framework for the Plugin Overdraft®, with the platform progressing into the production environment and launch targeted for around year-end 2026. The initial deployment is intended to support Conister Bank in extending overdraft facilities to Payment Assist Limited's existing customer base of approximately 1,500,000 customers, with readiness for subsequent expansion to the wider market. By August 2026, Everfex's reported monthly overheads had reduced by approximately 55% compared with August 2025 and by approximately 50% compared with the representative monthly run-rate during 2025. The Group's strategy is focused on demonstrating the Plugin Overdraft® through its first production banking deployment and using that implementation as a foundation to secure additional white-label banking partnerships in the UK and Europe. European Banking Federation data suggests a banking market of approximately 5,000 institutions, while Fiinu's analysis indicates over 120,000,000 consumers experiencing short-term liquidity constraints. Financial highlights include cash at period end of £2,703,888 and a loss after tax for the period of £2,147,036. Revenue for the half year was £371,086, administrative expenses were £2,518,386, and loss before taxation was £2,265,958. Total assets at 30 June 2026 were £4,435,770, with total liabilities of £3,883,747 and total equity of £552,023.

Management Fee Revision

(LSE/AIM:RICA) Ruffer Investment Company Limited announced a revision to its management fee arrangements following a review by the Board. With effect from 1 January 2027, the Company's Investment Manager, Ruffer LLP, will be entitled to an annual management fee of 1% of the lower of the Company's market capitalisation and its net assets, calculated on a monthly basis. This replaces the current annual management fee of 1% of net assets. The Board stated that the revised structure creates greater alignment between the Company and the Investment Manager and reflects the Board's continued focus on delivering value for shareholders.

Monthly Investment Report - August 2026

(LSE/AIM:RICA) Ruffer Investment Company Limited reported positive performance in August, driven by a strong balance between growth and protection assets. Gold appreciated by nearly 10% during the month, and gold-mining equities exhibited a high-beta response, with the company's gold mining exposure contributing almost 1% to performance despite a reduced position size. The escalation between Russia and Ukraine supported further rises in agricultural commodity prices, providing another source of return for the portfolio. Equity markets were resilient amid geopolitical risks, with the earnings season broadly supportive and market leadership broadening, particularly as semiconductors and memory stocks paused. Notable contributors included the allocation to the Japanese corporate reform theme and software exposure, which continued to recover while technology hardware names stabilised after July's sharp losses. Bond yields completed a round trip over the month and were not a significant contributor to returns, but fixed income remained a major focus as markets weighed US policy direction. The US Treasury announced an increase in bond buybacks, while Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh adopted a hawkish tone in his first Jackson Hole speech. The company’s exposure to government bonds remains low relative to historical levels, though selective additions have begun on an opportunistic basis. Principal detractors from performance were protective derivative positions and foreign currency exposures outside sterling, with the yen resuming its weakening trend despite bilateral intervention in late July. The company maintains a meaningful position in the Japanese currency alongside derivative protection to bolster the portfolio in a market shock.

White Papers Publication: Vietnam's Banking Sector

(LSE:VNH) VietNam Holding Limited announced the publication of a new white paper by Dynam Capital, the Fund Manager of VNH, examining Vietnam's banking sector and its role in financing the country's next phase of economic development.

The Manager's approach focuses on identifying institutions with durable funding franchises, sustainable returns on equity, adequate capital, disciplined growth, diversified income streams, strong digital ecosystems and sound governance. The white paper sets out how Dynam Capital tests its investment thesis across the banking sector through fundamental research, financial modelling and regular engagement with companies, with particular emphasis on growth capacity, funding strength and earnings sustainability. Banking remains a key focus for Dynam Capital and VNH. The full white paper is available on the Company's website.
