According to my broker it's a surplus on the pension scheme which is being distributed at the rate of £0.07555391 per share. So you must have held around 29,000 shares.
They have also said there might be a small amount more to come in late April.

Eh? Just got £2.2k "return of capital" from SCIN, a year and a half on - no idea why.

Disappointing, but have exited the last of JGGI today. SCIN merger has simply meant JGGI going from a persistent premium, to a persistent discount, and moving from issuing shares to buying them back.

Febrile markets not helping, and have waited for this long for the discount to close, which it shows no signs of doing.

HL have removed SCIN from being tradeable online, for no good reason that I can see - 2nd & final vote is tomorrow, should convert to JGGI shares on Thursday.

Edit - in fairness, they sent the below, not that other a/cs seem to be affected & the shares are clearly still trading:

"If approved, the winding up will complete on 31 August 2022. The new shares will be credited on or around 1 September 2022. If you want to sell your Scottish Investment Trust shares before it completes, you’ll need to do so before 4:30pm on 22 August 2022. "

921p NAV yesterday, with JGGI on a c.10p premium. Am assuming the premium will come off once SCIN converts, but issuing equity isn't stopping it so the equivalent of c.20p onto SCIN conversion isn't impossible.

Say 940p - hence not a seller at 891p.

Third time lucky for SCIN Board actually sticking to a timetable - well done them.

c.9p divi coming our way just before conversion too.

Yesterday's NAV 910p, JGGI trading at a premium.

68k at 820p just gone through, interesting trade - is surely money in shorting JGGI, longing SCIN, now the timescale is allegedly clearer. Who'd bet against it slipping once again!

There's always something at the top of every bubble - Tony Dye in 99/00, SCIN now.

A reminder of what SCIN held until yesterday:

Newmont, Newcrest, Barrick - 3 gold co's at the top.

BT - telecoms

Wells Fargo - bank

Exxon, RDSB, Total, Haliburton - 4 energy companies

Gilead Sciences - pharma


A great Top 10.

JGGI's, and what SCIN will very shortly hold (if it doesn't already):

Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, McDonalds, Wells Fargo (interesting..), NXP semiconductors, Mastercard, P&G, Novo-Norlisk.


In fairness, there's a few in there I'd be OK with, but not the 3 largest.

Agree the point is that there's loads of JGGI's, and very few if any SCIN's anymore. And that it seems to have marked the top of the long, long bull market.

(Amazon & MSFT are hardly bad co's - but AMZN p/e 55, MSFT 33. At least for MSFT, that's 3x what it was. Take it back to 2010-2012 p/e and the price falls 2/3rds).

Think I can explain the many years of underperformance from SCIN now - 3x 72-page glossy annual reports dropped through the letterbox this morning, despite holding all my remaining SCIN through various nominee a/cs.

On the plus side, some interesting stuff in there.

Particularly liked the gem about the advantage of JGGI "...Focussing purely on the best total return opportunities." Referenced in relation to value/growth, but really "We switched to a new manager who says they're looking to buy shares that will go up".

Still targeting first quarter 2022 for the combination, but first stage is appointing the JGGI managers to manager the Trust around 21st Jan, and that they'll then switch the portfolio out of what we all bought SCIN for, and into the racier JGGI cr*p. So rather than hold on for the merger, that'll be me looking for the exit.

A gracious review from Alasdair McKinnon but personally sorry to lose a value-based, gold-heavy IT. Can argue that if the strategy isn't working now then when will it, but can also argue the next few years may have been perfect. This particular diversification choice has only weeks left.

A reminder, if any were needed, of what SCIN is likely to be holding a month from now:

No golds
No oils
No UK financials
But MSFT, AMZN, Alphabet, Wells Fargo, McDonalds, Mastercard, Analog Devices, P&G.

Not the worst picks - at least no Tesla - but if I wanted the racy US techs that have done so well, I'd buy JGGI.

Still c.6.5% of discount closing to happen.
