I like the discount and share buybacks but how well does this fund perform against other Asian focused funds / ITs?

The CULS pay a dividend and may be eventually converted, but they would cost £1 each and there is nothing to sell now is there?

I've not. Converted mine to Ordinary Shares. New loan stock terms don't look great. Obviously lower risk to take them though!

In the papers:



Exert:

“..........City Union Bank benefited from [Indian] Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation policy that drove consumers holding cash to place them in bank deposits instead and Tisco Financial was lifted by improving asset quality that outpaced that of the larger lenders,” the report said.

“Separately, Tisco bought Standard Chartered’s Thai retail operations, which will be integrated into the group. The move, which we view positively, is in line with its long-term strategy.”

Trust chairman Nigel Cayzer said India generally is presenting good investment opportunities for the trust, thanks to an “acceleration in economic growth”.

China, on the other hand, is less attractive “owing to concerns over corporate governance and quality of smaller companies there”.

Mr Cayzer added that the trust’s board is proposing a 12p final dividend for the year, which would take the total to 16p per share.

If approved by shareholders that would represent a 52 per cent increase on the 10.5p paid out in 2016.

The board is also proposing to pay a special dividend of 4p per share.
