NAV ticking up nicely to 76.59p. We can buy at 66p, 13.8% below NAV.

Hi all, any idea why ASL has outperformed ASIT over the last month (40% vs 23%). Considering the increased gearing of ASIT i fund this surprising.
Thanks

Share price climbed 10% today and looks greatly undervalued

It needs time to recover. The geared strategy has worked in the past and should work this time as well...eventually!

2wild, I guess it could be a rumour, that it would make sense to close Aberforth Split and absorb it into the massive successful Aberforth Smaller. ASIT launched 3 years ago has been a disaster.

No idea what was going on today, up almost 10% on heavy turnover and some buying above nav. Sold out at 52p, just below NAV. Reinvested in similar trust AIF at 24% discount to nav.

I bought at 35p today. Maybe should have waited

The gearing will work when the bottom is reached maybe later this year. Will watch

Performance not great, style out of favour, but offers chance to lock in near 6% div and if experienced managers do start to perform then the gearing will boost returns. Is on my watch list...

This has got off to a surprisingly bad start given the yield on offer and the excellent historical record. Aberforth are a quality manager. Refreshing that they launched this vehicle at what they believed to be an optimal size rather than being greedy. Expect it to do very well over its life, albeit launching at the end of a bull cycle will impact at some stage.
