Thanks for the good wishes Hastings. Not well but hopefully getting there.

Fair point about HFEL share price performance being enhanced by reduced discount. NAV is up around 10% from the low though, so definite hints of improvement.

There are STILL so many shares and Investment Trusts paying huge and often sustainable dividends, reflecting the undervaluation of a lot of UK shares. E.g just today Serica surprised by paying a 14p final (7% just for that 1 dividend) and the overall dividend is 11.5% and higher than last year.

Here’s a bit of info for those keen on seeing dividend cuts and more buybacks. Our portfolios have now reached the stage where all new investments can be paid for from the dividend income month after month.

AND it means the portfolios now fund themselves too.

And right now is still a good time to build a portfolio of shares and Trusts paying exceptionally high and sustainable dividends. It’s only when the dividends flow in like the current 10.4% HFEL yield, that we investors seem to realise what a bonus they are.

you have to factor in that that 12% share price uplift was accompanied by a shift [mostly the past few weeks] from 4% discount to 2% premium; therefore just a 6% rise in NAV over those 6 months.
Some investors pay close attention to the NAV performance.

On the +ve side, you could argue that HFEL is yielding about twice what av. of peers payout; so maybe, as much as 3% EXTRA yield over 6 months, had one bought at last autumn lows. [HFEL yielded ~12% at its October nadir.]
Taking your 12% cap. gain and adding 6% for 2 divvis makes a TR of 18%, from the nadir.

It will be interesting to see how close to 6p the share price drops at tomorrow open; moreso if the premium fades over the next week or 3.
Perhaps it will......maybe it won't.

The dividend looks secure. Read page 3 of the factsheet for why.

What many investors might have missed is that this year HFEL has gone from being by far the worst sector performer to the BEST performer. It’s up 12% over 6 months and next best AAIF is up 10%. HFEL has also outperformed them all over 1 month and year to date.

And the dividend is still 10.4% with next ex 6.1p quarterly dividend tomorrow.

Looking better here finally. Let's hope it lasts!

Do worry abit about that 10%+ dividend but if the share price rises that falls abit and might not put some investors off.

Thanks speedgh, yes I'm aware of the excellent AIC site; my request was more towards specific recommendations based on investors' experience and thoughts on how best to ride what appears to be a new geographical bull market. I've been been in HFEL for years one way or another and it seems like a very good default. Perhaps there is no better, though the high dividend might make it less nimble.
But I will certainly check through these other ideas.

Main Takeaway

It's also notable that the team will focus more on India, Indonesia and Taiwan, countries in which it has tended to have an underweight allocation. The team will also continue to focus on China, an allocation that has helped contribute to poor performance in recent years.

There are certainly reasons to be cautious about this shift in strategy. For one, it invites the risk of bad market timing. As Stifel analysts put it a few weeks ago: "While we think a rethink a strategy is welcome to allow greater flexibility in terms of investing, we wonder whether doing it now may lead to a rotation out of some names which have now already fallen and are now cheap."

The analysts also worried about the dividend being uncovered and argued that trusts such as Abrdn Asian Income (AAIF) looked more appealing. The Abrdn fund recently came with a share price dividend yield of 5.3 per cent and a double-digit discount.

As with other changes in strategy, investors might wish to wait and see how it works rather than diving straight in. But those who have already invested on the back of HFEL's huge yields might give the team the benefit of the doubt, for the time being.

Depends which report you look at but they almost all show that women are better investors than men. Beating them by 0.4% to 1.4% pa.

I'm far from what you would describe as "Woke" however I will say this:

I often read journalists and analysts quote research demonstrating women tend to be more successful investors than men, often cited due to them tinkering less.

Also there has been a change of managers and the new managers are as yet unproven as lead managers. Let's at least give them a chance before writing them off before they've proven themselves. Stop all this misogynistic nonsense and just wait and see how they perform. Judge on performance and merit, not gender.
