its a very big drop today, and yet other asian small company funds have only retraced about 5%, so any ideas why this has fallen so far?

[madmix] 06/6/2013 15:43

I didn't like the idea of buying these at a 5% NAV premium after such a strong run over many months, but kept them on my watch list.

However, they currently trade at a >5% NAV discount, so I've been happily buying today to tuck them away for the long term - such a strong performer over 1,3 and 5 years.

an almost 10% loss since i invested is not exactly what i had in mind.........

This looks interesting too - WKOF

It's been an absolute beauty. Asian/UK Smaller co's have seen my biggest % return amongst the funds and Trusts i hold. Everything going exceptionally well :-)

Such a comfortable long term hold :-)

I never dreamt this could go to such a premium. My only consolation is that my alternative, which I'm heavily invested in, SST, has mirrored this stellar performance, whilst only just touching a premium to NAV.

All my Asian Funds/IT's are lifting the SIPP at quite a rate!

[richard xi] 20/2/2013 11:48

Nice milestone. Onwards and upwards.

[sawadee3] 27/12/2012 13:49

No stopping AAS and ANW :-))

[sawadee3] 19/12/2012 12:07

They've been overpaying for around the last 5 months, hasn't stopped us rising :-)

Nicely outperformed it's open ended version too.

They don't come much better than Hugh Young :-)

That's the first time this has ticked north of 900p. Now is 4 per cent of my portfolio, but this is in my "never sell" category, until it finds less skilful fund managers.

It's been a good one alright, sits nicely in the SIPP along with ANW :-)

[gorse] 01/10/2012 18:24

This has now risen 40% since 1 January, 2012.

[gorse] 23/8/2012 12:11

POST 35: "I've got 500p as the first fibonacci retracement, but since plenty of others know this and it's such a "well rounded" number, suspect it will reach resistance above this level."

I repeat (with AAS topping 780p!): Chartism is complete garbage.

[richard xii] 08/8/2012 14:10

The trust has performed superbly. It has focussed on smaller companies and kept away from ones reliant on exports which have found business more difficult. Two sister companies with different stock choices have also performed very well.

[davebowler] 06/8/2012 13:33

All time high.
