Blackrock Throgmorton Share Discussion Threads

I hold six investment trusts in my SIPP, and they all took a severe bashing last week. THRG dropped a whopping 18.28% !!

In just one week the average drop was 17%, which is quite a bit higher than the global markets dropped in the last week. Not sure I understand why ITs suffered worse (other than travel related stocks) compared to other stocks and indices..

Anyway, here's the drop I observed on the 6 trusts mentioned above, in the last 5 market days only -

18.95% ATT - Allianz Technology Trust
18.28% THRG - BlackRock Throgmorton Trust
18.85% MNL - Manchester & London Inv Trust
14.86% PCT - Polar Capital Trust
13.69% SMT - Scottish Mortgage Trust
17.39% SSON - Smithson Inv Trust

NB the average 5 day drop across these 6 IT's is: 17% - quite shocking really!

I've bought a few to hold long-term. Its not the best time for small-cap investment, but this is a good trust with an excellent 10 year record and I wanted to add it to my collection!

Good buying territory around here I think.

This is continuing to perform well,

[mad foetus] 25/4/2018 10:22

Sold out, discount has now narrowed significantly and I feel in a risk off mode.

[gorse] 10/4/2018 22:24

Very pleased with performance of THRG.

SP back to high. Great performance given the overall market recently.
Discount still a bargain at 11%.

[mad foetus] 10/5/2017 14:35

This just keeps on giving, discount closing slightly but mainly great NAV performance.

[mad foetus] 28/4/2017 10:49

NAV now above £5, slow and steady and still at a big discount.

It's sometimes amazing how irrational the market can become. Given the nav performance, the discount for this trust should be much less than the average for small British companies. Instead the discount is one of the highest. Actually I hope the share price doesn't go up much today; I have money waiting to go into my isa tomorrow and it's all going into Throgmorton.

[mad foetus] 04/4/2017 09:54

Just bought two decent sized chunks, discount is 20% ATM, and NAV performance best in sector over 3 years

[biggest bill] 23/3/2017 11:39

I've added as well; the discount is ludicrous given the long term record.

[mad foetus] 20/3/2017 12:46

Topped up again as discount is over 17%

[mad foetus] 15/2/2017 09:38

Topped up, discount silly and will catch up with HSL and BRSC shortly imo

[nimbo1] 10/2/2017 15:54

Nice move here - and on BRSC. I own BRSC but not Throgmorton - simply because they are almost exactly the same! Not sure why they have 2.

[mad foetus] 06/2/2017 12:14

NAV up by 5p today, discount still silly at around 18%.

[mad foetus] 20/12/2016 08:40

Lovely rise recently, long way still to go mind

[mad foetus] 17/11/2016 08:57

I've been buying in recently, the discount is silly

[professor pettigrew] 16/11/2016 22:48

Probably the biggest bargain on the market today.

THRG Took a hit on Blinx last month
