Net Assets Value is 216.14p

[brwo349] 22/12/2023 09:17

I could not resist buying some this morning at 182.5p
I know the spread is big but a 15% discount to the net asset value is historically very high for this trust.

Sorry I meant 188/198!

[thaiger] 05/9/2021 11:24

Has the spread always been this wide 188/189?

[thaiger] 05/9/2021 11:23

Has the bid and offer been always this wide? 188/198??

Likewise, iweb quoting 175 on Thursday, so topped up via Selftrade/Eqi @ 172p.

The NAV is now 200.7p so the discount to NAV is now 14.3% at the buy price just now of 172p.

I can only buy at 172p with Hargreaves Lansdowne. My other brokers aren't giving me an online quote.

I had an investment in JUKG which wound up from a similar discount as this. So I have just put the proceeds here. Portfolio looks ok so it'll either rise to a more reasonable discount or it will end up being wound up too.

It is cheap in comparison with UK equity trusts in general. I looked at a few such as EDIN and TMPL and the discount to NAV tends to be 5% or less. The downside with BRIG is the spread which is 3.5% currently. However with the discount at over 13% I can live with that.

Just added this as an investment. Looks cheap.

It took me over three hours to do and then when I went for my results the site crashed.

I reckon I did well though. I'm firmly of the opinion that I scored well into double figures

Apparently I am a Visionary Philosopher.

Who am I to argue with that.

My IQ was 88. Not bad, given I wasn't reading the questions, and was answering randomly. That means I'm less that 1 standard deviation below the average - average being 100, SD for IQ tests 15, I believe.

I was also told the following:

'You've got a very experiential way of learning and a strong mathematical mind. You're able to whittle even the most complex situation down to comprehensible component parts. In short, you have mastered the art and science of precision. That's what makes you a Precision Processor.'

A precision processor who gives random answers?

You're cleverer than me Glenn, a measly 124 for me.
