101 different holdings at the last look, might be taking diversification a tad too far.

Portfolio review

The equity portfolio's holdings in companies that are typically expected to benefit from a cut in interest rates, such as housebuilder Taylor Wimpey and real estate companies Land Securities and Big Yellow, aided performance given their strong share price rises over December. The position in specialist buy-to-let lender Paragon was also positive for performance after the company announced very strong results with good loan growth and better net interest margins leading to betterthan-expected dividend growth. Given the positive market backdrop, holdings in financial companies such as Ashmore, Phoenix and Intermediate Capital, also benefited performance.

Conversely, the equity portfolio’s positions in British American Tobacco and Anglo American were negative for performance. British American Tobacco lowered its profit guidance for next year due to an increase in investment needed to become more competitive, and concerns about macroeconomic pressures in the US. Anglo American rebased its production guidance across most commodities given a reassessment of its operations under a new management team.

There was minimal trading activity during December. We added to the holdings in self-storage company Big Yellow and soft drink manufacturer Britvic, and reduced the position in Woodside Energy.

Manager outlook

Now that inflation is falling, the pressure on central banks to keep monetary policy tight is easing. This suggests that interest rates could be cut over the next 12 months. While the impact of the significant rise in interest rates on economic growth needs to be carefully watched, consumer borrowing has been historically low, corporate balance sheets are relatively robust and the banking sector is generally well capitalised.

With wage growth also likely to outstrip inflation next year - an environment that has never coincided with a recession in the UK - we believe the outlook for the UK economy could be better than the current low expectations. While risks remain, especially with heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East, valuations in the UK market are attractive to us on a long-term view.

I’ve just received my HHI shares after accepting the all share offer and received 3174 shares worth approx £4950 at yesterdays valuation which is when they were worked out. Had I gone for the HDIV cash offer, I would have received £5400 at yesterdays valuation. That is a huge percentage difference and a kick in the teeth for any shareholders that stayed loyal to Henderson Fund Managers if you were like me and had a holding in both companies. Not sure how that difference can really be justified.

In connection with the combination of the assets of the Company with the assets of Henderson Diversified Income Trust plc ("HDIV"), which was approved by HDIV Shareholders earlier today, the Board of Henderson High Income Trust plc (the "Company" or "HHI") is pleased to announce that the Company will acquire approximately GBP72 million of net assets from HDIV in consideration for the issue of 42,345,422 New Shares to HDIV Shareholders in accordance with the Scheme.

The number of New Shares to be issued was calculated based on a HHI FAV per Share of 170.245412 pence and an HDIV FAV per Share of 72.055120 pence, producing a conversion ratio of approximately 0.423242 New Shares for every HDIV Share rolling over, each calculated in accordance with the Scheme. As set out in the Shareholder circular published by the Company on 12 December 2023 (the "Circular"), fractions of New Shares arising as a result of the conversion ratio will not be issued under the Scheme and entitlements to such New Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Applications have been made for the New Shares to be admitted to listing on the premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 17 January 2024.

Following the issue of the New Shares noted above, the Company's share capital will consist of 172,141,700 Ordinary Shares, with each Ordinary Share holding one voting right. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury.

The figure of 172,141,700 Ordinary Shares may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in voting rights, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement will have the same meaning as set out in the Circular.

safe haven - bought more, like the discount and like the steady Eddie constituent companies in this trust.

[ameliorator] 09/1/2024 18:58

boring as hell, but a great way to get exposure to some very heavyweight shares. IMO better than trying to build positions on an individual basis.

[neilyb675] 09/1/2024 18:42

So the default (shares) option was more popular than those electing to take the cash option.

[neilyb675] 09/1/2024 18:41

In connection with the proposals for a combination of the assets of Henderson Diversified Income Trust plc (the "Company") with Henderson High Income Trust plc by means of a scheme of reconstruction and winding up of the Company under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme"), the Board is pleased to announce the following Elections in connection with the Scheme:



· Rollover Option: 100,050,505 Shares

· Cash Option: 82,022,212 Shares



In accordance with the Scheme, eligible Shareholders that made no Election have been deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option. Overseas Shareholders have been deemed to have elected for the Cash Option. Therefore, the Shares will be reclassified as follows:



· 100,050,505 Shares with "A" rights, being the right to receive New HHI Shares; and

· 82,022,212 Shares with "B" rights, being the right to receive cash.



Applications have been made to the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be reclassified for listing purposes with effect from 8:00 a.m. on 15 January 2024. The listing of, and dealings in, the Company's Reclassified Shares are subsequently expected to be suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 16 January 2024.



Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the Company's circular to Shareholders dated 12 December 2023 (the "Circular"). The Circular is available for viewing at the National Storage Mechanism which can be located at and on the Company's website at www.hendersondiversifiedincome.com.

New thread for a new era of HHI.
