Shareholders invest in businesses with the expectation of receiving returns on their investment. However, on average, 70% of shareholder funds are retained in businesses and not distributed to shareholders. Therefore, the effective deployment of retained capital is critical in delivering strong investor returns. In recognition of this, the London Value Investor Conference has introduced two annual awards for public company CEOs who exhibit exceptional capital allocation skills over multiple years:
The LVIC Award for Best Capital Allocator – UK listed companies
The LVIC Award for Best Capital Allocator – Global listed companies
The criteria used for evaluating good capital allocation practices will include:
