RNS Number : 2886H Seraphim Space Investment Trust PLC 08 June 2026
SERAPHIM SPACE INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
(the "Company" or "SSIT")
Admission to the FTSE 250 Index
Seraphim Space Investment Trust plc (LSE: SSIT), the world's first listed
SpaceTech investment company, announces that, following the FTSE UK Indices
Annual Review, it will be included in the FTSE 250 Index with effect from the
start of trading on 19 June 2026.
Elevation to the FTSE 250 represents an important milestone in the Company's
development since its 2021 IPO and reflects the continued growth in portfolio
value, growing investor interest in the SpaceTech market, and the recent
£137m C share fund raise, reinforcing the Company's long-term growth
potential. SSIT's entry into the index is expected to increase visibility
amongst institutional investors, supported by index-related demand and
improved liquidity.
Will Whitehorn OBE, Chair of Seraphim Space Investment Trust plc, commented:
"Our inclusion in the FTSE 250 marks a significant milestone for Seraphim
Space Investment Trust and is a clear reflection of the progress we have made
in scaling the Company over the last five years and demonstrating the
attractiveness of SpaceTech as an institutional asset class. We believe this
inclusion will further enhance the Company's visibility, improve liquidity and
support continued growth in our shareholder base.
Mark Boggett, Chief Executive Officer, Seraphim Space Manager LLP, said:
"SSIT joining the FTSE 250 reflects not only the Company's progress, but the
transition of space from a specialist technology theme into a core pillar of
global infrastructure. Space has become foundational to how nations operate,
compete and secure their future.
The convergence of defence, sovereign capability and data infrastructure is
redefining the market, with governments globally investing in resilient space
architectures for security, communications and intelligence. This is driving a
structural shift where demand is long-term, procurement is strategically
funded and commercial innovators are now embedded at the heart of national
security systems. As the only listed investment company offering diversified
access to this largely privately backed ecosystem, SSIT is uniquely positioned
to participate in, and help shape, this next phase of growth."
