Was hoping for 2.28/2.30 type area

Perhaps the next dividend later in the month will give it a nudge.

Hi davebowler,

Today I reached my target ISA holding of 10,000 shares in AAIF, with the purchase of 1,050 shares. The shares are currently trading at 224-228, a little below the 233 shown on the advfn graph at time of purchase.

In recent years AAIF has put in a rather lacklustre performance compared to its peers. Having said that my total AAIF holding is up about 20% on my average purchase price. All my AAIF shares were purchased over the last year.

As your posts show, the income including and excluding NAV are currently the same,(this is the case when income does not fully cover payout when xd) but there is good reason to think that over the next year or two dividend income growth should trend higher.

The two largest (heavily weighted) holdings in the AAIF portfolio have excellent dividend growth prospects. I would expect the significant discount to NAV to reduce over time, especially since Asia should benefit from portfolio rebalancing as we come out of the global pandemic. This geographic area also looks undervalued compared to other geographic regions.

In the Asian sector I also hold HFEL. I still remain cautious on dividend sustainabilty/growth at HFEL, which trades at or near NAV with an already very high dividend payout.

I am now starting to finalise which IT I will start to build a new position in.
I hold EDIN, DIG, MRCH, AAIF and HFEL in my ISA portfolio.

Added, 9% discount to NAV.

[essentialinvestor] 29/12/2020 10:21

Would hope we can get nicely past £2.50 a share in 2021,

with a nice dividend on top.

Doesn't look as if the Asian markets are switching into the more cyclical value stocks which we've seen happening in UK / EU /USA recently - yet ? Still dominated by the big non -dividend paying big tech stocks as Edison points out Could be an opportunity here and over at HFEL, SOI imo Long term holder here GLA
