Posted at 30/5/2023 20:10 by steve3sandal Yes good show over 1/2/3 years v benchmark. More evidence should it be needed that I’m a better allocator of capital than an individual stock picker. EDIN remain in my first eleven. |
Posted at 30/5/2023 19:37 by topvest Results OK and Liontrust (ex. Majedie) team seem to be performing. They shouldn't have cut the dividend a few year's back in my view. Anyway, doing OK now. |

Posted at 29/11/2022 17:46 by boystown Featured on Master Investor this evening:-- A lot has happened to the £1.2bn Edinburgh Investment Trust (LON: EDIN) in the last few years. In March 2020 the board replaced Invesco’s longstanding manager Mark Barnett after three years of underperformance and put in place a team from Majedie, a firm which was subsequently taken over by Liontrust. Barnett’s value-based approach had been out of favour for a considerable time, but there were also question marks over some of his stock selection decisions. Once he had been sacked the board took the opportunity to reduce the annual management fee and switch to a tiered charging structure. It looks like the changes are starting to pay off as James de Uphaugh and Chris Field, who have been running the fund since the removal of Barnett, have done a good job improving the performance. Since March 2020 the trust has generated NAV and shareholder total returns of 56.9% and 66%, significantly ahead of the FTSE All Share total return of 43.3%. A key recent development has been the re-financing of the expensive 7.75% long-term debt, with the fund issuing £120m of loan notes at an average interest cost of 2.44% and average maturity of 25 years. This cheap source of capital should give it a competitive advantage in the years to come. A new approach EDIN offers a diversified portfolio of 40 to 50 listed equities based on fundamental company research. There are no in-built style biases with the fund typically containing a mixture of growth, value and recovery stocks, the aim being to add value regardless of the economic and market conditions. The stock-driven analysis focuses on the identification of companies with strong and sustainable business models, multiple drivers of returns and quality management teams. It’s a high conviction approach with capital protection a key element, with the manager considering the downside risk for each holding and scaling the position accordingly. At the end of September the largest holdings included the likes of: Shell, Unilever, BAE, AstraZeneca, Tesco and NatWest. The key sector weightings were retailers, biotech and medical, banks, oil and gas. Overall the historic dividend yield was an attractive 4.2% and the ongoing charges a competitive 0.52%. Solid footing Having taken over at the height of the pandemic the first step was to re-balance the portfolio and rebase the dividend to a more sustainable level. The long-term objective is to grow the distributions ahead of inflation with the first interim dividend having recently been increased by 6.7%. A decision is yet to be taken about the total pay-out for the financial year. James de Uphaugh has put together a well-diversified portfolio with multiple drivers of returns that should be able to withstand the uncertain economic environment. He believes that the inflationary pressures are easing and draws attention to the low valuations that look cheap on pretty much whatever metric you want to use. The broker Investec believes that the Edinburgh Investment Trust has made solid progress in rebuilding credibility after what was a traumatic period, while stronger foundations bode well for the future. They have a buy rating on the fund and say that if the healthy absolute and relative performance can be maintained then the discount should narrow from the current level of seven percent. |
Posted at 16/6/2022 00:14 by steve3sandal I suspect Cazoo is the stub following the take private of Daily Mail. The Board haven’t covered themselves in glory for a long time. From the outside even I could see that the previous manager had gone wrong in his stock picking. At YE the NAV is the same as 2015 and the Trust is £200m smaller after buybacks. Chair stepping down is more tenure than any admission of, well, add your own word.But I do like what JDU has done and I keep adding when I see the portfolio and share price dips. Liontrust takeover of the manager promised a higher level of promotion but not happened yet. The rebased dividend won’t help Edin reissue shares at a premium which they aspire but they might trade close to NAV with 3 years of JDU outperformance of the All Share and a quieter macro background. One of my larger holdings. |
Posted at 15/6/2022 21:42 by topvest Just taken a look at the Annual Report. Majedie seem to be performing as expected really; slightly above the benchmark. Not sure why they have £2m in Cazoo at the bottom end of the portfolio. Seems a bit odd for their "value style".I can't help thinking that the board could have kept the dividend flat again really, maybe with a special dividend again, as they have the reserves to do do. Lost opportunity now as the record has gone - will take 19 more years to get it back! I also think the Board should be making more of the 130+ year history. Again, a missed marketing opportunity. To be honest, I am not that impressed with the Board - they seem a bit light weight for such a historical institution. |
Posted at 27/4/2022 09:58 by bluemango Nice to see an increased dividend, now 6.4p a quarter, translates to 4.1% yield if they maintained that level for all four payments - but surely there's a good prospect of a larger final in July (as in previous practice) to boost it still further. |
Posted at 01/1/2022 19:27 by steve3sandal Thanks for your contribution here, interesting tale and I think lots could benefit from selling poor companies and buying good ITs. My recent position here was started a year earlier when I felt Barnett was supporting some of Woodford's blue sky deals and his position and performance became untenable, and the discount opened up. I got some decent entry points and flagged a number of things to the Board though I'm sure that was incidental. I'm very impressed by James DeUpaugh and they've done a great job getting the NAV where it is. Sadly the discount which appeared under previous management is still with us but I'm hoping this will change. An improvement to UK sentiment and the takeover of Majedie by Liontrust may bring about more buyers than sellers. Also at its size Edin should be looking at a zero discount control policy. |
Posted at 02/6/2021 17:33 by boystown Master Investor - Nick Sudbury says:Edinburgh Investment Trust’s first full year’s results under new manager James De Uphaugh show clear outperformance and a narrowing of the discount. Edinburgh Investment Trust (LON:EDIN) had struggled for years under Invesco’s Mark Barnett, so it was no great surprise when the board appointed Majedie’s James De Uphaugh to take over last March. It was fortunate timing with the transition period coinciding with the onset of the pandemic. In its final results for the year to 31 March, the UK equity income fund made a NAV total return of 34.8%, which was well ahead of the 26.7% recorded by the FTSE All-Share as markets recovered from their March 2020 lows. The share price return was even stronger at 46.4% due to the narrowing of the discount. Turnover was much higher than normal at 39% as the manager re-positioned the portfolio and reacted to the rapidly changing events during the year. Significant additions included Standard Chartered and Acsential, while legacy holdings in Glaxo, Legal & General and Barrick Gold were sold or reduced to increase the pro-cyclical tilt following the development of the first vaccine last November. Plenty of upside potential De Uphaugh believes that the UK is rich in stocks that are exceptionally well-placed both operationally and in valuation terms. In order to take advantage he uses a flexible total return approach with the concentrated 50-stock portfolio consisting of a mix of growth, value and recovery names. Despite the recent strong performance, many British companies continue to trade at a discount to their international peers. It is possible that the successful vaccine rollout and the fact that Brexit is now behind us could enable the valuation gap to close, but the focus continues to be on fundamental research with the aim of identifying the stocks with the greatest upside potential. Many of the largest positions are regarded as leaders in their fields and are likely to emerge from the crisis stronger. In order to protect capital, the manager considers the potential downside risk for each holding and scales the level of investment accordingly. New starting point for the dividend Lots of UK companies reduced their dividends during the pandemic and because of this the board decided to rebase the fund’s underlying distribution to 24 pence per share, a level from which it should be able to achieve sustainable growth ahead of inflation. This gives the shares a prospective yield of 3.75%, which is marginally below the four percent average from the UK equity income sector. A special dividend of 4.65 pence has also been declared in respect of the year ended 31 March. It will be paid from the revenue reserves with the ex-div date being 24 June and will maintain the annual income in line with the previous year’s so as to protect investors. A 12-month period is too short to properly assess the performance of the new manager, but it is reassuring to see that the fund has continued to outpace the index since the end of its financial year. The broker Investec has recently issued a buy recommendation with the shares available on a 4.5% discount to NAV. |
