Foresight Group Holdings (LSE:FSG)

Real Assets produced about £115 million, Private Equity about £50 million, on a roughly £504 million market cap.

Foresight Group Holdings adds a twist to this screener, because instead of being a single early stage stock, it manages pools of growth capital for a long list of smaller businesses that fit the Financially Fit Penny Stocks theme.

"Foresight is rapidly evolving new product strategies such as standalone private credit-focused business relief, with early demand signaling the potential to become a flagship offering. This aims at accessing sizeable, untapped wealth and institutional flows and elevating recurring revenue growth rates as financial advisors and pension funds shift allocations for long-term yield."
