Background
Incorporated in New Zealand in 1961 by Sir Ronald Brierley, GL Limited (formerly known originally as Brierley Investments Limited, followed by BIL International Limited, and then GuocoLeisure Limited) is an international investment company with a global portfolio of investments and some 85,000 shareholders. The initial focus was to acquire substantial shareholdings in public companies in New Zealand and Australia. By the 1980s, the Company acquired numerous global investments with shareholdings in over 300 companies. In the late 1980s, GL began to realign its strategy by focusing on a smaller number of assets with a core of trading subsidiaries and associated companies. Following the Asian economic crisis in 1997, the Board initiated a review of corporate philosophy and investment strategy. This led to the write-down of asset values, disposal of a number of investments, the reduction of bank debt, a new management team and a new strategic focus for the Company. In 1999, its domicile was transferred to Bermuda. In 2000, its global head office was moved to Singapore and its primary share market listing was moved to the Singapore Exchange, with secondary listings on New Zealand Stock Exchange. The company's primary role is as an active investor with strategic shareholdings and active investment management aimed at extracting and maximizing shareholder value. GL's primary role is as an active investor with strategic holdings and active investment management aimed at extracting and maximising shareholder value. The Company's current focus is on the hospitality industry. The Company changed its name to GL Limited on 21 October 2015.
