BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has revealed it has taken an 8% stake in football club Manchester United.
The holding of 3.3m shares was revealed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. That move may have confounded the short sellers who piled into the stock shortly after its IPO: research from Data Explorers conducted last August found that over 8% of the company's stock was out on loan. The club's shares subsequently struggled to make gains in Q3 2012, but now stand 20% above the IPO price of $14 a share. But the club did reportedly find one influential backer in the form of legendary investor George Soros, who was said to have built an 8% stake of his own last summer. The team is owned by an American family, the Glazers, that took over the club in 2005 and maintains control of the holding through a dual share structure. This means the family holds Class B shares in the club, which carry ten times the voting power of ordinary, publicly traded stocks. |
