22/7/2016 11:16 | Says it all ! "The Trust’s quoted equity portfolio produced a return of 9.5% for the period against the benchmark’s 12.0% return." | spacecake | |
07/6/2016 18:31 | Thats the end of 'merger' talk, look forward to the outcome of the review. | spacecake | |
01/6/2016 18:52 | Agreed. It would be called a merger but would effectively be a Rothschild takeover. | topvest | |
31/5/2016 22:19 | This will not be a merger, if it goes ahead the new trust will need a name, board, key players and be based somewhere. I don't see the new company being based in Scotland or being controlled by anyone other that the Rothschild's, therefore it will be a takeover and puts its very existence in peril it won't get my vote. | spacecake | |
31/5/2016 20:40 | Not in my view - any bid is just about closing the 10% discount. Over the long-term that's not a big issue. RIT Capital Partners may be on a premium now but will it too be on a discount in 5 years? I would like Alliance Trust to get its act together and perform. It's been going since 1888 and shouldn't be brought down by the previous rubbish Board. RIT Capital Partners probably only has another 5-10 years with Rothschild at the helm before retiring. Not even great men go on forever! | topvest | |
31/5/2016 19:58 | Aren`t you pre-judging the issue? No terms of any "merger" have been offered as yet by RIT but the market is now on alert as shown by the positive reaction today on the Alliance s.p. | gilston | |
31/5/2016 18:20 | I'm not that keen on a RIT merger. At the end of the day its very straightforward and the Strategy Review should have been completed a long time ago. The Strategy Review should be to employ a top quartile investment manager / multi-manager Witan style approach of best of breed managers. They would have £2.5bn to manage and so there should be no shortage of top quality names applying. Merging with RIT is too short term. The guy is 80 and what happens when he needs to retire? KEEP ALLIANCE TRUST INDEPENDENT gets my vote, rather than just getting Rothschild (another over paid individual) to boost his personal ego by getting RIT to No. 1 in the investment trust charts. I've nothing against RIT and am a shareholder, but this is not the way forward for a trust with the fantastic heritage of Alliance Trust. | topvest | |

31/5/2016 18:04 | This approach has put Alliance well & truly into play. If RIT are serious, they need to put an offer on the table. | gilston | |
31/5/2016 15:59 | More expensive distractions.... The Board of Alliance Trust notes recent press speculation relating to an unsolicited approach received by the Board and confirms that RIT Capital Partners plc ("RIT") has approached Alliance Trust with an informal proposal for a merger of the two companies. | spacecake | |
04/3/2016 22:37 | It's such a unfair, greedy & twisted world we live in ;~| | spacecake | |
04/3/2016 16:32 | They need to pay for the redundancy package of the self styled global leader. The idea is that you pay for it. | meijiman | |
04/3/2016 14:33 | Oh dear... after only just arriving as a new customer from Stocktrade they are putting my investment account fees up for an inferior service. | spacecake | |
16/2/2016 19:54 | Hopefully Alliance Trust will get back to what they should be doing. Employing an above average investment manager. Great opportunity for someone to put this company back on a sure footing. | topvest | |
16/2/2016 10:44 | Don't feel sorry for Garrett-Cox. Her and Forseke were both ruthless women and good examples of why positive discrimination in favour of women in the boardroom does not work. Garrett-Cox fleeced shareholders out of millions, not forgetting early pay-offs for numerous excellent non-exec directors who were sacked for failing to agree with her. She will now take a "redundancy" pay-off and recieve her vested shares in due course. A classic "fat-cat" case! As Chairman, Forseke should have controlled her, but failed to do so. For once it seems that activist directors have had a positive influence. When the current equity bear market is over (and it isn't yet)it is my intention to re-build a decent sized position in ATST and enjoy the dividend stream. | tartshagger | |
15/2/2016 15:01 | Hm -more having the wool pulled over their eyes. | meijiman | |
15/2/2016 15:00 | It is -there must be people somewhere in Dundee having their trousers removed. | meijiman | |
15/2/2016 14:39 | Great news - Kathryn the great (not quite!) has gone. How she got away with the money she earned for such a rubbish performance is beyond belief. | topvest | |
15/2/2016 12:13 | Well done spacecake.With new decent management this could be a good play.Don't tell me the share price has gone up? | meijiman | |
15/2/2016 12:06 | Fridays top up is paying for itself already... thank you "self styled global leader"... or maybe it's just luck. | spacecake | |
15/2/2016 10:42 | Oh no the self styled global leader has been sacked. Still she has trousered millions of your money so she can go and enjoy spending it. | meijiman | |
18/1/2016 18:00 | I read that it is time for Davos again-skiing/drinkin | meijiman | |
02/10/2015 15:54 | Changes generally well received. Let`s hope for better performance. | gilston | |
12/8/2015 10:04 | Think the CEO will be walking the plank at some point soon. No doubt there will be a couple of £m on offer for the very short walk over the edge though. | topvest | |
12/8/2015 09:23 | Any thoughts on how things are developing here? A relative of mine was recently attracted to buy some after being out for some years, following some press/TV interview or another. I don't really follow it, but the current discount levels seem fair enough at first glance. | emptyend |
