Electra Private Equity is reviewing its decade-old investment strategy, a move that had been expected since the activist investor Edward Bramson won his showdown with the listed investment trust and gained seats on its board in November.

The company said in a January 25 statement that it is reviewing its "investment strategy and policy and its structure" with a view to considering options to maximise long-term shareholder value. The group expects to complete the review by the autumn.
