These are companies involved in cutting edge technologies with great potential, and given that Tern has funded all its portfolio companies while providing them with crucial support to grow, it is clear that the company stands to reap a lot from the success of such businesses.
Tern’s stock hit an all-time high of 57p back in 2018 and has trended lower since then, despite the company’s investment track record. The fact that its stock is currently trading at 10p makes it an attractive target for technology investors.*
The advent of 5G networks is set to boost the IoT sector as may IoT devices and applications rely on extremely-fast internet speeds to unleash their full potential and capabilities.
