Cqs New City High Yield Share Discussion Threads

If you are an income seeker, you are probably less worried about share price than you are about dividends. So any drop in value should not bother you. However, what a star performer this trust has been. You will have won both ways. I am sticking with it for the long-term, and enoying it.

ashton-Interesting fact sheet.
I do not own these or ncyf.
The only one I own in the Henderson stable is HFEL
Latest factsheet for HDIV:-

[kiwi2007] 08/6/2010 20:40

I see that CHY are paying 12p this year but "..For 2011 and future years, the Company will again have a tax charge on most of its income which will reduce the income available for dividend. Your Board will continue to seek to provide a high level of dividend income relative to prevailing interest rates but shareholders should not anticipate the maintenance of annual dividends at present levels."

[ashtongray] 08/6/2010 18:29

CHY also running at a discount now, fairly unusually. Altho higher risk than NCYF, the latter's current premium to nav does look excessive. I am watching but not buying yet.

[davebowler] 08/6/2010 13:49

Crazy -this is at a premium of 8% whereas Henderson Diversified Income (HDIV)a similar truust is at a discount of 8%

[pherrom] 23/3/2010 09:16

January update for 31.12.09



December continued the theme of high yield being the preferred asset class for companies to raise capital,
as these companies have been frequently frustrated with continuing Bank balance sheet restrictions.
With relation to currencies, Sterling had a mixed month being marginally stronger against the Euro and weaker against the US Dollar,
Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar.
Looking forward to the start of 2010,
there are several factors which we believe are likely to have a negative effect on the UK economy in the first quarter.
Firstly, the re-imposition of the 17.5% VAT rate; this has definitely had a major positive impact on December retail sales,
the amount that has been put on credit cards we wait to see!
It is our opinion that many shoppers may have brought forward major purchases into the end of 2009 to avoid the rise in VAT.
Many retailers have criticised this move with varied strategies put in place to encourage shoppers to spend in 2010. Secondly,
the change in the highest rate of income tax from April could well have a negative effect, whilst individuals prepare for the extra pain to be incurred.
Thirdly and most importantly, is the level of UK Government Debt. With the General Election due in May,
there is a distinct danger that the incumbent Government does not act quickly enough to cut services and public spending, pushing up the deficit farther.
As we mentioned a few months ago, a certain level of inflation would be good repairing the Banks and the Government's balance sheet.
Presently,the demand element in this eqation ranks very fragile in the first quarter which encourages us to keep the balance of the portfolio
near to 50%in non sterling investments.

Current dividend is not 4.4p. Three interims @ 0.85p = 2.55p + 4th int of 1.1p = 3.65p Yield (at 51p)therefore 7.16%.

[washbrook] 22/9/2009 22:58

On Friday 18.9.09
When I posted that the rise of 1.75p was the biggest one day rise in my memory.
I have looked at the daily closing prices on SHARESCOPE.
Friday's close was the highest daily rise since they started trading on 7.3.2007.
Tonight's close was the second largest rise of 1.25p.

That seems to be just slightly at odds with the FT report last week...

.... "The initiative is another blow for building societies, which have seen their deposits by local authorities more than halve from £12.7bn in July 2008 to £5.6bn in July this year. The cash exodus reflects a flight to safety, as council treasurers abandon small mutuals with less-than-perfect credit ratings for government-backed savings. ........."



No matter, personally I like it because of it's international spread of holdings - possibly some others also see it partially as a hedge against the £ falling further?

There also seems to be a move from the lower end to higher yielding and riskier bond funds if my holdings are anything to go by.

[asmodeus] 22/9/2009 11:04

I have just phoned them. Apparently it's probably due to Building Societies needing to place their funds somewhere sensible. Anyway - I had not realised they were Channel-Island based and so pay divs gross - a very important asset for an ISA investment, so I have bought some for mine.

[washbrook] 18/9/2009 20:17

Although I have a big holding in this stock I am somewhat suprised at the rise of 1.75p today.
It is the biggest rise in the stock that I can remember from memory.

Lates fact sheet...July 31st...

MANAGER COMMENT The month of July continued to see a rally in high yield and investment grade markets, whereas the UK 10 year Gilt weakened on the month weighed by the twin ongoing worries of issuance and inflation. Equities too had a positive month across the globe and whether or not this is a massive bear squeeze or a concerted recovery is still open to debate. Many pundits are looking for a "W" shaped recovery, whilst others are still happy with the "V". August could be an interesting month for once, rather than its usual sleepy self! At the end of the month, the Company's shares went ex-dividend in respect of their fourth interim dividend of 1.1p per share, up from 1.02p per share last year, to give an annualised rate of 3.65p per share and giving a 7.8% yield at the current share price of 46.75p. During the month, the IFCO Systems NV 103/8% 2010 was called at par and the Company also sold the Lloyds TSB Bank 6.25% 2014 which was the "exchange property" for the Clerical Medical Finance Plc 41/4%.......more...

[pherrom] 27/7/2009 15:40

Yes, you're quite right kiwi - I was using last year's figure.

[kiwi2007] 27/7/2009 13:42

22 Apr 2009 Interim GBP 0.85
21 Jan 2009 Interim GBP 0.85
22 Oct 2008 Interim GBP 0.85
plus a fourth interim dividend of 1.1 pence per share (2008: 1.02 pence per share)
Which I make to be 3.65 and nearer 7.8% ;o)

[pherrom] 27/7/2009 09:48

Total 3.57p which @ 46.75p gives a useful yield of 7.6%.

[kiwi2007] 24/7/2009 11:22

Useful rise in final divi. 3.65p total?
