That's one view I guess, but definitely don't agree with it. They are investing in IGC and maximising returns, nothing wrong with that.How many companys do you hold that are buying back their own shares?, and in most cases ignoring what the actual value and internal rate of return is.IGC obviously feel that they are going to get a much greater return by buying their own shares than investing elsewhere.

It's explained somewhere in an rns. Every two years the company will guarantee to buy back your shares at a set redemption price. Last time it was 3% below NAV. IGC shares have always tended to trade well below NAV, so as the redemption date approaches the gap closes. Unfortunately after the redemption and with all that trading activity, with weakness in the Indian market, and election uncertainty approaching the price has subsequently quickly sagged !

This may be a silly question but what is redemption and how does it impact the share price. I am not a invested here but thinking about it.

The company seems to be managing the situation very well. By my reckoning they have sold 6m treasury shares back into the market since the end of Jan. I haven't worked out the exact price, but the average must be around 184p. Now they've started buying again in the 140s.

My own recent purchase at 162p isn't looking too clever right now, but I've always regarded this as an investment for the longer term and bought some more today. If they follow the same timetable as last time, we'll know the discount for the next redemption point in September, with the half year report.

I've owned these for many years. I initially bought at 100p but then bought some as low as 24p. They underperformed for many years and have traded substantially below NAV for most of that time, often 15 to 20%. The recent run up to 180+ was a surprise to me and the retrace was expected to be honest. I sold half my holding at 166 but might be tempted to buy some back. 11% below NAV feels about right historically, but the share buy back has been a clever way to support the share price.

Agree, think this has such a good record the norm may now be to pay around nav or a premium.
If that's correct, buy price more reasonable at the moment, 183.80 trades are buys, near to nav 182.87p

Well, I was wrong about the discount widening after the redemption date; the share price has gone from strength to strength and is now at a premium to the NAV. I see they are now selling shares held in treasury to satisfy demand, whereas a few months ago they were buying their own shares. I can only put it down to market confidence in IGC's investments and in India generally.

IGC used to have a discount of around 20% or even more. That was before they introduced the policy of offering to redeem shares at a specified discount, on a biannual basis. That discount was 6% in 2021 and 3% this year. I'd expect the discount to widen slightly after this year's cut off date (29th Dec) but it will gradually narrow again toward the next redemption date.
Further, if you check out the NAV progress of JII and IGC over pretty much any period you choose you will soon see which has the better record.

IGc has about an 8% discount to NAV and JII has an 18% discount . Surely JII must be a better bet but I might be wrong :)

It's worth checking out the two best known alternatives to IGC, JP Morgan India Investment trust and Abrdn New India. Neither has seen any increase in NAV or share price over the last 12 months. Ocean Dial seem to be doing a tremendous job here and the share price will be underpinned by the redemption facility at least for the next 3 months.
