History

Octagonal was founded in 2007 as an investment company, and acquired a 9.97% stake in Global Investment Strategy in April 2014.[4][5] In 2015, Octagonal announced it had entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the remaining issued share capital of GIS.[6] Octagonal raised £1.7 million through a placing of new shares, and the acquisition constituted a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules for Companies.[7]

In March 2017, Octagonal opened an office in Hong Kong.[10] In November 2017, GIS announced the soft launch of the SynerGIS Bond, a fixed-rate bond offered to retail investors.[citation needed]
