Posted at 08/5/2013 12:39 by davebowler Garwatts , my mistake, I should have said HSL -Henderson Smaller Companies . Its a rival Investment Trust with superior performance over 5 years and at a biggish discount of 16% to NAV (whereas ASCH is at 0%!) |
Posted at 18/1/2013 14:33 by davebowler Also worth a look is Acorn -AIF .I've sold my ASCH with a tinge of regret and have AIF and HSL. |
Posted at 09/1/2013 11:41 by aleman Trustnet gives SDV gearing of 143% and ASCH 126%. I don't know how they get that. They are clearly not what one normally understands for gearing. Perhaps, they are both simply incorrect, as sometimes happens on aggregator sites. |
Posted at 08/1/2013 16:18 by aleman These have really motored of late and the discount has shrunk to the lowest for 4 years. If you think these look a little overbought, SDV still looks good value by comparison. It tends to move in line with ASCH but hasn't followed NAV up recently so its discount is high by the standards of recent years. |

Posted at 31/8/2012 15:01 by aleman Interim results out.Sounds like they've been tinkering a bit to get more growth in dividend income in the longer term at the expense of the amount of current dividend income recieved. It looks like the payout this year will now be uncovered so a dividend increase next year is starting to look slim. Activity With the polarised view in the bond and equity markets touched upon earlier the Manager has been very cautious with current trading. Your Board has been keen to improve the underlying yield of the equity portfolio whilst maintaining its quality and the Manager has continued to pursue this in recent trading. The quality of the underlying portfolio mix has also been improving with a reduction in the preference share portfolio - the Trust's highest yielders but with no dividend growth potential - whilst in tandem upgrading and diversifying the quality of the corporate bond portfolio. Previously the bond portfolio held a number of higher yielding financials which have been replaced with blue chip telecommunication, utilities, and transportation holdings. This decision has benefited the performance overall and made the bond portfolios more secure, and the Manager has offset the subsequent decline in bond yield through improving the yield from the equity portfolio. With the recent sale of the BUPA Finance 6.125% 2049 bond post a strong rebound, this transition in the bond portfolio is nearing a conclusion but there is still scope to increase the yield in the equity portfolio. . In the equity portfolio the Manager added to a number of the higher yielding names on weakness including Wilmington, Chesnara, Berendsen, Interserve and Rathbones. These companies all offer a yield premium to the market and were part of the strategy to improve the underlying yield. Profits were also taken in two of the top performing names, XP Power and Oxford Instruments. XP Power was trimmed to maintain the absolute weight in the portfolio while Oxford Instruments was reduced due to the valuation looking expensive. The portfolio benefited from the announcement that Umeco had received a recommended offer from Cytec Industries. The deal concluded after the end of the period. The Manager also completed the exit of Zotefoams and Halfords where he felt they had better opportunities elsewhere in the portfolio. |
Posted at 06/7/2012 15:23 by aleman High yield shares really looking good now. If you bought a spread of high yield shares anytime in the last 4 years, you would be unlucky not to have a capital gain and the dividend returns should have put you comfortably into profit, while easing the pain of the dips as you waited. Volatility has been decreasing of late, so you would think those sat on cash might start considering them as being less risky. Moving averages are turning up again, driven by the fat and rising yields despite the odd cut here and there. Total UK dividends in 2012 are expected to be about 13% above the 2008 prerecession peak. |
