The factsheet for February has been uploaded.
This is the placeholder link from the website, so if you wait too long you will get the one for March. :)

The BG websites are annoying, they do not have an archive for the factsheets.

Slightly off topic folks but a Baillie Gifford fund are the largest shareholder (20%) of Valeura Energy (VLU) and "remain supportive" according to the CEO.

VLU currently trades at a discount to cash (they have a lot of cash) but are on the brink of M&A activity. One to watch imo. ADYOR.

Good point. JAGI has been one of the cornerstones of my portfolio for many years. A good dividend, steady growth and no price shocks! The coronavirus excepted...

[dragonsteeth] 05/3/2021 16:28

andyj, the difference with JAGI of course is that it “only” has 40% invested in China. JCGI , the China focussed IT has fallen by a similar amount to BGCG give or take a bit.

Yesterday's: 469p. Guessing under 460p now, but who knows come Monday. Edit - going for sub-450 for today's.

Yep, a silly premium acts as huge leverage on the way down.
Cannot blame Baillie Gifford on that one, they told people a few months back to be wary when buying at a premium.

As stated, I came in as WPC and significant discount, still way-up from the old days' expectations, i.e. drawing a straight line from a year ago to today's share price is still quite nice.

[spectoacc] 05/3/2021 09:54

JAGI 12m premium 1%
BGCG 12m premium 11.5%

Not forgetting it hit a crazy 30%.

[andyj] 05/3/2021 09:49

Interesting to compare with JAGI who have 14% in Alibaba and Tencent. Since 14/2 JAGI have fallen from 5.40 to 5.10, around 5.5%BGCG have fallen from 6.20 to 4.85 around 22%

[spectoacc] 05/3/2021 09:42

Yes, but yesterday's was for the day before, and today's will be for yesterday. Been some decent drops the past 48hrs.

We'll know if you're right at Monday's NAV, tho the fact it's very likely still at a premium will be shown if they issue shares.

[andyj] 05/3/2021 09:37

Most recent NAV from yesterday is 4.92, they have not published the NAV today yet.

[vacendak] 05/3/2021 09:36

It was about 3% at close last night with the 03/03/2021 NAV
Wih today's drop, it is now even closer to 0%.

[ali47fish] 05/3/2021 09:25

andy how do you work that out the ft sight say a premium of 10.35pc

[spectoacc] 05/3/2021 08:50

Over 20% is Tencent & Alibaba, got to be confident there's no bubble bursting.

[andyj] 05/3/2021 08:49

Finally down to NAV, I'm in.

[vacendak] 28/2/2021 09:30

Not 100% about BGCG but an informative read on what is in it and what is not.

[vacendak] 26/2/2021 09:03

This should help the company grow by a fifth over the next year, if the market is still hungry for it. Assuming the money buys already held stock without need for more research, the costs should go down, improving things even more.

Despite a sharpish drop in NAV over the past few days, the premium is still well above 10%, so serious leeway to offload the remaining treasury shares.

[vacendak] 24/2/2021 17:24

They still managed to offload 200K shares today while the share price was falling.
Surprisingly we recovered and closed at "no change".

9.8% premium at last published NAV, not as ridiculous as before but still high.
