City Natural Resources High Yield Trust has announced that for the year ended 30 June 2011 the net asset value total return was 58.8% compared to a total return of 27.1% from the benchmark index.

A dividend of 4.22p per share is being paid for the year, an increase of 13.7 per cent.

This is the sixth consecutive increase in the annual dividend, with an increase of over 111% since 1 August 2003.

The ordinary share price total return since 1 August 2003 has been 577.9%.

The Chairman, Geoff Burns commented: "The company's share price total return during the year of 64.4% was rather better than that of its net asset value, reflecting a further narrowing of the discount at which the Company's shares trade from 16.6% to 13.9% during the year."

Aha! KAH and CYN coincidentally both up to 253p. Just topped up on CYN.

[shavian] 09/10/2011 16:02

New City Investment Management increase its holding in Kalahari Minerals to above 6% on 6 October:


This total includes other NCIM funds, not just CYN.

Today's Sunday Times business news banner headline is all about this week's rumoured bid by Guandong for KAH at 270p. Current KAH share price is 246p

Rio may yet mount a counterbid.

Nice move NCIM! Good time to top up CYN?

[davebowler] 07/10/2011 13:35

Yes its CYNC.
Interesting article;

Is there a RIC code for the CULS?

[davebowler] 27/9/2011 09:36

The CULS commenced trading yesterday at 103p, making a nice profit for new shareholders, and a good deal for CYN which has secured a good chunk of borrowing at low interest rate of 3.5%

I think its a good issue and will likely go to a small premium if the similar 3.5% Edinburgh Dragon CULS is anything to go by.

Just seen the OPen offer of CULS. Well done Sippdeal for being so prompt, waiting to hear from TDW. From the document could not see how to work out the entitlement but Sippdeal worked it out as .224 for 1 ordinary held. I sold down a few but still a core holding in my Sipp and ISA. Seems worthwhile taking up though the interest payment is small my reading is that you can convert to ordinaries till 2018 at the NAV(+10%) at the time of the CULS issue. Happy to be included as PI as most of these offers only go to Instis. Any thoughts?

CYN now holds over 6% of KAH. As our Richard Lockwood is on the board of KAH, it would seem that action on the lapsed Chinese bid for KAH is imminent.

[davebowler] 18/8/2011 13:12

Gold again at an all time high.

[shavian] 11/8/2011 07:51

On 5 Aug CYN reduced its holding in KAH to below 5%. Todat KAH/EXT announced a 37% rise in resources at Husab. Strange timing considering we have a man on the board of KAH.

Huge hit today Dave. Trustnet estimating current NAV at 326p which is circa 70p discount.... 21% by my reckoning. Although I suspect Trustnet havent updated that NAV estimate since Friday night.

Im keen to get back in here when the ship steadies. No idea where or when that will be of course.

EDIT: Trustnet estimate updated to a NAV of 314p which is a discount of 18.7%

Shavian, the public is not aware, in general, of investment trusts. That's another reason why I like ITs. ;)

[shavian] 31/7/2011 08:27

Discount now widened to 17.8%. Yet money is piling into OEICs like Blk Gold and General. Public just not aware of the value to be had in resource investment trusts. AS you say, crazy.

Gold is at another £ all time high.
