In recent days a popular industry among fund managers and notable investors has been the education space.

Geoff Wilson-headed Wilson Asset Management accumulated a 5.15 per cent stake in Evolve Education (ASX:EVO), which is dual listed on the New Zealand Exchange. Wilson entities spent just over $3m to take itself over the substantial holder threshold.

Another trade with a Kiwi flavour was Auckland’s Pie Funds Management taking its stake in Australian childcare operator Kip McGrath (ASX:KME) to nearly 20 per cent after spending nearly $6m.

Australian Ethical Investment topped up its stake in Mathletics & Spellodrome operator 3P Learning (ASX:3PL) to over 15 per cent.

Meanwhile, Pendal and Perpetual took their stake in educational program operator RedHill Education (ASX:RDH) to just under 25 per cent collectively.

Race Oncology’s (ASX:RAC) chief scientific officer Daniel Tillett sent his company higher last year with his first buy into the stock and later on taking his current position.

Now he’s become a substantial holder of another stock: software-as-a-service (SaaS) and Internet of Things (IoT) play Simble Solutions (ASX:SIS). He now holds a 5.95 per cent stake after dropping a further $96,425 on the stock.

Other notable trades included Wilson increasing its stake in fitness centre operator Viva Leisure (ASX:VVA) to 5.25 per cent, and Alex Waislitz’s Thorney Technologies topping up its stakes in airport shuttle booking servie Jayride (ASX:JAY) and sleep apnoea fighter Oventus Medical (ASX:OVN).
