Track records are important; hence, investors may want to carefully consider the investment thesis behind Quindell. The firm specialises in handling motor and household claims for insurers and now works in some way, shape or form, with the majority of the top ten insurers. Judged solely on its numbers, the company is certainly impressive. On Monday it reported pre-tax profits for the year ended on December 31st of 107m pounds, for an increase of 202 per cent on the back of a 133 per cent surge in sales. The AIM-listed company now has a market capitalisation of over 2.25bn pounds after also acquiring more than 20 companies in the two and a half years since its debut on the market. However, chief Rob Terry has done this before. He transformed The Innovation Group into a business with revenues of £1bn a year. That venture ended in tears towards the end of the dot-com bubble despite its much vaunted revolutionary technology. Quindell has raised its guidance on new business to £2bn a year in three years' time. Despite the shares doubling in price since January they may still be worth a look if you believe Terry won't put in a repeat performance, The Times' Tempus wrote
