Waterloo Investment Holdings Limited

WIHL is a BVI held as to 90%+ by Lord Ashcroft. I cannot see any advantage to Lord Ashcroft

arising through failing to buy in the tiny minority that remains. Therefore (well, almost) such a purchase will happen. From time to time WIHL buys in its own capital albeit on a tiny scale - therefore I suppose WIHL makes no effort to buy: it merely sits there gobbling the occasional morsel. The price paid is around 30p. I reckon the price should really be more of the order of 100p. JP Jenkins are said to assist but they need to be approached through one's agency broker.

The interesting feature is its subsidiary Midway Investments Limited which is the repository of a single asset, a huge claim due to it by the Government of Belize. Here I took it upon myself to unlock the impasse and contacted the Sir Tony Blair Institute who, I reckoned and reckon, have the clout to persuade the GoB to do a deal. I have achieved nothing so far. But one day it will have to be dealt with - it is simply a question of price.
