“Alliance Trust”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Alliance Trust PLC was formed by the 1888 merger of three Dundee-based mortgage and land companies: the Dundee Investment Company, the Dundee Mortgage and Trust Investment Company and the Oregon and Washington Trust (which was set up to provide loans to immigrant farmers on the West Coast of the United States).^[3] Many prominent figures in Dundee invested some of their money in the Alliance Trust and its predecessors, including merchants, ship owners, textile manufacturers and businessman such as Sir John Leng.^[4] The company subsequently expanded into other asset classes. In 1918 the firm agreed to share premises and other costs with the Western & Hawaiian Investment Company,^[5] a mortgage lender which initially focused its business on sugar planters in Hawaii before expanding.^[3] Five years later it was renamed The Second Alliance Trust, although no formal merger between the two took place until 2006.^[5]^[6]

The Trusts later moved into fixed income investing in the 1920s and 30s, before adding significant quantities of shares to their portfolios in the late 1950s.^[7] A savings division was established by Alliance Trust in 1986, offering pensions and other investment products.^[8] A formal merger with The Second Alliance Trust was finally conducted in 2006, as the investment strategies of the two companies had come to closely resemble each other.^[9]

The company left its headquarters of over 90 years, Meadow House in Dundee's Reform Street on 1 June 2009 for a purpose-built facility on 8 West Marketgait in Dundee City Centre.^[10]^[6]

In 2011, it was reported that University of Dundee Archive Services had become custodians of the Alliance Trust's extensive archives.^[4]^[11]

Following criticism by Elliott Advisors, an activist shareholder, Katherine Garrett-Cox stood down as Chief Executive and left the company in March 2016.^[12]

In December 2016, the board announced that the Trust would replace its in-house investment team with a multi-manager approach in a bid to improve performance. In January 2017, the Trust appointed Willis Towers Watson (WTW) as investment manager.^[13] In September 2017, the Trust appointed Ron Baxter as its new chairman.^[14]

Former operations

Until October 2018, Alliance Trust was the parent company of Alliance Trust Savings Limited, an execution-only trading platform. The business was sold to Interactive Investor for £40m; the sale included the office building at West Marketgait, Dundee.^[15]
