The market in AEET has been more liquid than usual in recent days, this has allowed me to sell most of my holding for a small profit. I will be watching the xd price tomorrow to see if I made the right decision. Only extreme mis-pricing of the xd shares will lure me back but what price would that be? Maybe just put some of the cash into SEIT?

There's not much point in a tender offer if all the large parties are not going to take part. It's very costly compared with paying a dividend.

Which I think has probably happened. Last time Schroders did not take part in the tender offer which I thought at the time was just Schroders being incompetent but I now see that is what they must have indicated to the Board.


(there is no possible way you would have got 80%-100% of your holding away in a tender offer 2wild. I would have to look it up but last time I got about 20% more than my allowance and that was mostly due to Schroders not taking part)


In the end Steifel the house broker would have know for some considerable time there was no tender offer. If there was the share price wouldn't have been as low as it was for so long.

I am out of this and I have mixed feelings. I first bought this in small size in the IPO and added and added on the way down. Overall if I count all the dividends and the tender I’ve made 4.6%. Not great but at least it’s a positive number. Clearly I would have made more just doing nothing but compared with what I could have made or lost given the volatility in the general market over that time I’ll shrug my shoulders and move on.

The juicy dividend seems likely to attract buyers in the run up to XD next week, but after that I expect the share price to crater in the same way it did after the 6p dividend and the tender buyback. Further liquidity will dry up and I’m quite sure Invesco will continue to keep selling regardless of price.

To me it’s a game of chicken, where I wanted to get out before the XD date whilst I have liquidity to sell into. It seems likely the buys may well keep coming for the next few days but there’s also the risk that a number of PI’s are or will become desperate to sell in the last couple of days for tax reasons due to nature of the income dividend. Paying 20% or 40% tax on the dividend likely creates forces sellers.

I read the annual report and was very disappointed. A number of write downs which I was not expecting and my view is that unsurprisingly the manager and Board have lost interest in this Trust. Some of the write downs were shocking and whilst one might argue it’s taken place in order to enable disposals near NAV I’ve seen this pattern before and often it seems this is just the start of further write-downs.
If you buy wind farms for £1.9m and have to write then down to £1m that’s not great. Worse with the solar in Spain. Written down from £1.3m to £0.4m. Clearly the investment manger or the contract cannot hold the supplier to account.
As for Superbonus, this has worked out OK in terms of profits but this was supposed to be in and out in a year. I think we are about 2.5 years in now and no-one really wants to buy the tax credits making me wonder how safe they really are.
I could go on. There’s more but I only want to write so much.

Cash. AEET has £38.9m cash if you include the hedging but they are only paying out £30m. wtf. What does a Trust with remaining operational assets of around £30m after the distribution need £9m lying around in it’s bank account for? (or £6.5m if you exclude the FX hedging). That’s a red flag. A big one. I will assume there is a reason and if there isn’t the Board need removing. I fear it’s going to get spent.

So, what we are left with is £30.7m of assets generating income at around 8% = £2.5m plus interest on the crazy bank balance = say £2.75m
Last year costs were £3.0m. They will drop this year so I guess £2m for this year. Perhaps that is too high but the ability of the Board to spend on fees is unknown.

How much is something worth in wind-up, making £0.75m a year? Not much so it needs to sell more assets and sell them at reasonable speed but apparently no-one is keen to offer them decent prices. If the remaining Superbonus schemes can be crystallised things looks much better or rather that gets crystallised but then the remainder cannot generate enough income to cover costs.

I’m out but I expect the share price drift up for the next couple of days. There is a buyer out there but whether they are prepared to pay much more than 65-66p is hard to say.

EX-div, these will be trading at a discount of about 42%. Prior to the recent large rise resulting from the Superbonus realisation and two others, this discount would have been 69%, so it's not clear whether or not we see much further rise in share price as a result of the announcement.

Rathbones being the largest shareholder makes a mockery of normal financial analysis, but that's a good thing for those of us who are prepared to suffer random P&L hits as a mere inconvenience to enjoy a wealth transfer from hapless RAT/Investec clients. On AEET, I do not see large further transfer, albeit some.

So glad I've been selling individual shares and putting more cash into AEET over last few weeks/months. AEET is my largest holding and is actually up on the week, unlike everything else.
Now 5 weeks ago since they received e8.5 million from Germany and said due another 23.3 in coming weeks. Could get realisation cash while market is severely depressed., a double bonus.

HE, yes, but must also add back net accruals since the published NAV date (30th June 2024). The net effect is around 4p.

Taking this into account, then the discount at 57p is 37.6%. But this is not the story; after adjusting for a repayment of £26.5mn (using FX of 1.205), the projected discount becomes 58.4%.

There is more - net cash as of 30th June was £9.6mn (adjusted for dividend payable and accounts payable but adding net accruals). What this means is that the two numbers above become 43.2% and 73.1%. You would have to be patient to derive all of that benefit (almost potentially quadrupling your money, except they have stated that they are a marked seller and this would have some effect, obviously). Offsetting this is that income appears to be healthy across most if not all remaining assets that have not been impaired (around 5% of assets, although this impairment is already reflected in the NAV).

If the share price was 65p, then the two numbers would be around 33% and 56% with the non-cash-adjusted future discount at 45% - something that is extremely feasible in the short term. The large seller is not bothered with the future, but the recent sales have to affect their strategy to some extent unless they are prone to frantic recklessness.

When an IT is at such a large discount and a material event such as Friday's (announcement) is made, something has to give from the pure arithmetic alone, absent of clear and obvious opposing factors of significant scale. Reading through the performance and description of their remaining assets, this is not the base case at all.

By the way, at Friday's pre 4.13pm share price of 51p mid, the future cash adjusted discount was 85.8%. But I'm sure Rathbones are analysing this assiduously. Even if you thought the liquidation of these Italian assets had but a 50% probability in 2025, 51p is/was not the right price, even for those high-flying intellectuals at Rathbones, to be selling.

What a time to publish! Got 10k before the world woke up.

This is stellar. The market cap was £43mn prior to the announcement and they are getting back £26mn in short order. NAV of 95pps meant that, after turning this stuff into cash, the new discount would theoretically be 66%.

To maintain, say, the 50% discount, the share price needs to be 60p or so. I did these calculations after buying the shares (adding) as it was so clear anyway.

Langland - don't forget we had the 6 odd pence 'divi' last year.

These small trusts in wind down do tend to find ways for the NAV to slip despite that not being the original pitch!

The superbonus monies (as others have said) should be substantial versus the share price. At least the penalty interest on them is attractive if further delays are experienced.

Thanks hughpants, I was hoping they were getting close to 40p in cash, even though the share price says otherwise
