Limitless Earth PLC is an investment company listed on the London Stock Exchange (AIM). We believe that demographic shifts – population growth, an ageing population, the emergence of new middle classes and changing consumption habits and lifestyles – are strong influences on the long-term earnings power of many sectors. The Company intends to invest principally, but not exclusively, in sectors where these changing demographic factors are an important driver of growth.
