This is a lovely Investment Trust. I've been an investor for many years. Shame it's taken a dice this last year or two but I've kept the faith and will continue to do so.

I sold out too this year.

My reasoning was, as TopVest points out, the high (but uncovered) dividend was sucking-in income investors.

I viewed that BAF was merely taking advantage of new rules which allows investment trusts (as approved by the Inland Revenue) to pay dividends with tax credits out of capital.

A bizarre decision, in my view, as it gives a false impression of true income receipts.

As to BAF's love affair with the sniffy Geron fiasco: why, out of all the stocks in the world, did they choose that one -not only to invest in, but to make it their largest investment ?

Geron Corporation is duly proving a disaster for British & American Investment Trust (BAF).

BAF today issued a statement which blames its own underperformance on poor management at Geron.

Posters here flagged the situation 12 months ago. So why are BAF's own shareholders still not asking why the trust took a huge (and costly) gamble on a share which few UK investors have ever heard of ?

It is not time that someone else took the helm here ?
