Tuesday, August 12, 2008 : PermalinkFinancial Times – Shares in Barratt Developments led the housebuilding sector higher on Monday morning as it revealed a US fund manager had increased its stake in the heavily-indebted company to more than 6 per cent.
Polaris Capital Management, a Boston-based value fund manager, had previously bought a 5.73 per cent stake in Barratt, whose shares have tumbled as the housebuilding industry has suffered sharply lower sales volumes and weakening sales prices in the wake of the credit crunch.
