1549 GMT - Rio Tinto investor and investment-management company Ninety One is confident that the miner's board has done the necessary work to assess the merits of collapsing its dual-listed structure and trusts its view that it poses risks to shareholders, Portfolio Manager George Cheveley told Dow Jones Newswires. "We acknowledge that the structure is not ideal but believe Rio Tinto is at an exciting strategic point and want to see the management team focused on operational delivery," he added. U.K. hedge fund Palliser has tabled resolutions calling for an independent review into the miner's structure at its annual general meetings. Ninety One Ltd. has a $120 million stake in Rio Tinto PLC--or under 0.2% of its shares--according to data from Refinitiv. (adam.whittaker@wsj.com)
