Weaker £ may now be helping NAV.

Thanks. I need to check out the mechanics as the holding is not with my on line broker.

Rich, yes, why would you think otherwise?. Usually ample liquidity as well.

Notice their self set benchmark has been altered recently.

LIBOR plus 5% (net of fees) annually has been ditched.
Was it ever hit?, from memory No.
ADIG arguably utterly failed to get even near that.

Now replaced by a far wider. income and capital growth over the long term.

As they also appear to be struggling with the capital growth bit,
perhaps a further change will be necessitated given time - irony intended.


I trade this, rather than buying and holding.

Buy a few on a bad day, sell on a better one.

Not currently at a price I would add any more at, below 91 a share perhaps,
if available.

No buy backs for a few days. Have the clowns running this outfit used up all the available capital?

If you guys want to sell and drive down the share price, I'm happy to pick up your shares

Edit: Sorry that's a bit harsh and I guess I'd be pretty fed up if I'd been sitting in this trade for years. However, what we all have to decide is whether the trade is worth holding onto or we are better off moving on. I guess as you guys are still here, somewhere you view the current fund manager as doing an acceptable job

I dunno really. It looks cheap to me. I'm not sure how much of that is to do with the Morningstar rating. I'm for in a comfortable amount now and whilst I would not object to it going to 90p to buy some more, if I find myself topping up all the way down to 85p I'm going to shaking my head as well and questioning my decision process.

Rich, raised the same point previously.


Wonder where the % discount would be once buy backs stop?.

I still can't my head around how they can constantly buy back shares in a hopeless attempt to close the discount gap. Surely there has to be a limit to the cash available to do this. I really wish they would wind this trust up. I can't see the point of it anymore. I bought when it was British Assets Trust and it's a history of poor management since.

ADIG finally out of Doric Nimrod Air two, about a 70% capital loss on that?.

And not being wise after the event, questioned the 'quality' of that investment here pre pandemic,
already significantly lower than book cost pre Covid-19.


Morningstar give ADIG a one star rating, perhaps generous.

Ever feel you're getting sucked in to a position?

Took some more at 91.6.

Edit 16:37 Hopefully today's selling pressure was due to options expiry and it will pop up on Monday.

I think perhaps it might be helpful to strip out the FX loss so we can see the performance of the fund manager?

The fund invests mostly in overseas assets and does not hedge (or at least not for very long) and therefore was always going to perform poorly on any strengthening of Sterling. There are very many others in the same situation over the last year.

The notes to the accounts show it's FX exposure is £270m and therefore every tiny 1% move is equivalent to £2.7m.

As we know cable has moved from around $1.20 to $1.40 in the last year or so.


This is the first fund I've held with FX exposure in the last 3 years because Sterling was so weak mostly due to Brexit. Even now with cable at $1.39 I'm still nervous that a more natural level is higher at $1.50. The move along with the discount has enticed me to buy a little but I'm not committing serious money until either all the stars align or I'm offered an outrageous price on a spike down.

No one in their right mind would pay close to NAV for multi year underperformance.

NAV over the last 6 months is approx 2% lower.

It takes some skill not to make a positive return over the last few months

but ADIG appear to have done just that.

And get paid for doing so.

Can't see this being wound up anytime soon. New manager, new strategy gives the Board a breathing space before they come up with the next good idea.

I do hope this iteration works out, ADIG holders have endured too much long term pain

If they upped their buy-back, they would find willing sellers!

I honestly don't know what to do... herewith my thoughts.

I have already bought a small amount at an average of 93.6 inc. stamp duty and all costs.

So, I'm looking at the share price and discount and thinking it's a good price. But what I can see is a stream of regular sellers who are providing stock every day to Aberdeen to buy back. Now these buy-backs should be closing the discount and discouraging the sellers but they clearly aren't because the sellers want to sell for whatever reason.

I suspect the sellers may be selling due previous mistakes made by the fund manager but that's all in the past and I've been through the underlying holdings and I'm comfortable enoough. However, my views on this aren't going to stop the sellers selling it down further, if that's their mindset.

Further we now have some drip selling as bond yields are rising.


All the above doesn't really put my off buying any more, albeit it would be nice if the share price would pop down to 90p for half an hour so I can load up and then immediately bounce to 95p.

However, what is putting me off is the strength of the indicies worldwide. I know from the holdings ADIG isn't as senstitive to a general sell-off as most but some form of pull-back has to be on the cards sometime because the Dow and S&P cannot keep going up forever 8 days out of 10. The pattern just isn't consistent with what usually happens. Any decent long term rally requires a test of support but we aren't doing that.

So, I will keep my powder dry because if the say the Dow pulls back to a mere 31,000 I think everything will go with it regardless of whether it should or not.

It's a mad world we live in right now.

This mutt remains on a 17% discount and a near 6% yield.

I won't mention any names as do not wish to get personal,
however the previous Aberdeen(SLI) Manager filled me with no confidence whatsoever.
Hopefully he's completely out of the picture now.

Bought a small amount today.
