Thanks Stemis, and also for flagging EQPI last year :-)

Yes I'd seen those positive comments. I'm just wondering when the cash will hit our bank accounts, given the EGM to finalise the payout has yet to be announced.

According to the notice of EGM



At the 2008 AGM of the Company, a resolution that the Company should not continue as an investment company beyond 31 July 2011 was approved by the Capital Shareholders......

Following that approval, the Board stated that its priority was to ensure that the senior ranking Zero Dividend Preference Shares and Income Shares had their final entitlements, which are due on 31 July 2011.....

Based on the value of the Company's net assets as at 24 June 2011, the Board estimates that the final entitlements of the Income Shares and the Zero Preference Dividend Shares will be covered by cash at 31 July 2011.....

According to the net asset value announcements; NAV of capital shares at 23 June was 37.83p and on 6 July 36.89p so no real change to the last statement.

Looks good for full cash on 31 July IMO

Hopefully we will hear soon re the EGM re Income share entitlements - I'd been assuming we woud get both the 100p capital repayment and last 3.2688 dividend within a week of July 31, but they seem to be running close to the wire.

Views anyone?

From the July 1 RNS


The Company and EPIC Securities intend to publish separate circulars shortly convening further extraordinary general meetings, to propose resolutions to appoint liquidators and to provide details of proposals for those companies' liquidations, including the proposed entitlements of the Capital Shares, Income Shares and Zero Dividend Preference Shares.

The Board is unable at this time to estimate the entitlements of the Capital Shares, Income Shares and Zero Dividend Preference Shares in those intended liquidations.

The Company and EPIC Securities will be placed into liquidation, and trading in shares of each will cease, on the passing of any winding-up resolutions.

PERFORMANCE: INVESTMENTS

REVIEW

The Group's total investment return for the half year was #37.0m (30 June 2005:
#61.2m).

Total invested assets were approximately constant at #2,382.5m (31 December 2005 #2,373.7m). Positive cash flow from new business was balanced by claims
payments in respect of the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005, the final 2005 dividend
payment and the partial redemption of the Unsecured Loan Stock.

As previously, some 90% of our investment portfolio remains in a mixture of cash and short duration, high quality fixed income securities. Both Sterling and US dollar interest rates rose some 70 basis points in the half year. If it
continues, this trend augurs well for future levels of investment return, but it has a short term effect of a mark-to-market unrealised loss on the current bond portfolio. In the half year we recorded unrealised losses on the bond portfolio of #12.8m.

83% of the Group's investments are managed by subsidiaries of Equity Investment
Partners ("EIP"), in which the Group owns a 41% stake. Discussions continue
with a number of parties with a view to the potential sale of this stake. While investment returns remain central to the Group's profitability, we have decided that the Group does not need to own its investment manager and is not deriving value in its share price from doing so; and that EIP's own future growth may be faster under new ownership.

As can be seen from the following tables having outperformed the benchmarks for
our asset classes in 2005, we have performed largely in line with the benchmarks in the first half of 2006, given our asset mix and the duration of our bond portfolio.

Re: proposed issue of zero dividend preference shares and restructuring of
management arrangements

The Board of Directors of The Equity Partnership Investment Company PLC
('Company') announces that it is considering proposals whereby the Company's
existing bank borrowings would be replaced by an issue of up to £20 million of
zero dividend preference shares and the management arrangements for the
Company's portfolio would be restructured so as to reflect the Company's
exposure to private equity investments and provide incentives for the private
equity management team more in line with market practice.

Any such proposals will be subject to approval by capital shareholders.

A shareholder circular is expected to be published within the next four weeks
and at that time a further announcement will be made.

and a comment on the results. note the 4th para...

Brit Insurance Holdings dubbed 2004 'the year of the cat' in terms of natural catastrophes, but despite heavy insurance claims, the company emerged in 'very rude health' according to chief executive Neil Eckert.

Profits before tax were 32.1% higher at £102.5 million against £77.6 million in 2003, well above the market consensus of £89 million.

The company (BRE) wrote gross premiums worth £1.09 billion against less than £1.02 billion the year before; net premiums were £910.4 million, up from £850.8 million.

Returns from investments, over 86% of them managed by Brit's associate company Equity Partnership, rose from £50.9 million in 2003 to £77.3 million, much better than analysts expected.

A final dividend of 2p takes the year's total to 6p which represents 80.6% of profits after tax. Brit shares added 0.75p to 86.75p in light trading.

(iv) Trading

The Equity Partnership Limited, EPIC Asset Management Limited and EPIC Special
Investments Limited

During the year, the Group traded with The Equity Partnership Limited ('EPL'),
an associated undertaking 34.1% owned by Brit Insurance Holdings PLC and with
EPIC Asset Management Limited ('EPAM') and EPIC Special Investments Limited
('ESI'), subsidiaries of EPL. Jo Welman, a Non-Executive Director of Brit
Insurance Holdings PLC is also a Director of EPL. Brit Insurance Holdings PLC
charges EPL £8,500 per annum per EPL employee in respect of operational office
costs.

EPL, EPAM and ESI also have an agreement with Brit Group Services Limited
('BGS'), a 100% subsidiary of Brit Insurance Holdings PLC, whereby BGS pays
certain expenses on behalf of these companies which it then recovers in full.
The total of all of these costs amounted to £2,863,222 (2002: £2,032,782), of
which £782,267 (2002: £260,634) was outstanding at the balance sheet date.

EPL also traded during the year with The Equity Partnership Investment Company
PLC ('EPIC'), a company with a 29.9% holding in EPL. Brit Insurance Holdings PLC owns 34.7% of the ordinary share capital of EPIC. EPIC purchased investment
management services from EPL amounting to £698,836 (2002: £712,876). As at the
balance sheet date the amounts owed in relation to these services amounted to
£114,000 (2002: £105,000).

and there are plenty more references, but you get the gist. so, The Equity Partnership Investment Company PLC, as referred to above holds a 29% stake in the fund management company (and much much more), but it is trading at a dismal 30% discount to last stated nav. that is an anomoly and is totally not pricing in either the current investments (a nice mix) or the growth of funds (mainly brits but also plenty of other) in the fund management company. yes, at the mo the shares are illiquid (there are two share classes, incs and caps, but it is the caps (eqpc) that are the ones to get) but at some stage they will be rerated and move up very nicely thankyou. at the moment you are buying at the bottom and their is plenty of potential up.
