Date: 24th January 2025
 Time: 1:00 PM
 Format: Online Webinar

Saba Capital, a US hedge fund, has recently called for general meetings at seven investment trusts:
Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust (USA), Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI), Keystone Positive Change (KPC), Henderson Opportunities Trust (HOT), European Smaller Companies Trust (ESCT), CQS Natural Resources Growth & Income (CYN), Herald Investment Trust (HRI).

Unless other shareholders vote at these general meetings, Saba’s resolutions will pass, enabling Saba to take control of these trusts.

In this webinar, an expert panel, including Ros Altmann, James Carthew, and Richard Stone, will explore the implications of these developments, focusing on the broader issues surrounding shareholder democracy. Additionally, there will be a concise presentation on how shareholders, particularly those holding shares via brokers or platforms, can ensure their voting rights are effectively exercised.

Thanks.

See Post 88!

Please check in more frequently as it is a quiet thread and an interesting time when EWI is being attacked by Saba.

I will repeat post 88 again for ease of reference.

Please note that Rigetti went up another 30% yesterday -so percentage rises may now be updating/increasing.

QP an interesting post by you on the SMT thread re PSi Quantum. Worth reposting here. Not a greatly used thread but have a small holding in EWI

With Saba Capital beating the door down, one can but hope that this could be construed as a trigger event where the complete unlisted portfolio is revalued at year end December 2024, rather than waiting for the regular revaluation cycles.

Let's hope EWI revalue the whole unlisted portfolio now.

Either way, the January Monthly Fact Sheet will be eagerly awaited.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

1.
Astonished that person at BG said they could not reveal how many SpaceX shares held by EWI.

That is public knowledge which they already reveal in their full portfolio valuations.

As at 31/10/24, EWI had the following SpaceX positions/number of shares:-

SpaceX Class A 3,190,457
SpaceX Class C 984,441
SpaceX Series J Pref 22,445,089
SpaceX Series K Pref 10,231,841
SpaceX Series N Pref 49,480,061


2. The value of the overall SpaceX holding is easy to calculate

As at 30/11/24, , the overall Fund value of EWI was £788.81 million

Spacex was 8.4% of the fund which means the Spacex holding was valued at £66.26 million at the end of last month - two weeks ago.

3.

My guess is that the SpaceX holding has not yet been revalued to reflect the most recent likeley uplift in the value of Spacex at the new Tender Price - perhaps because it has not yet been formally confirmed that the deal has gone ahead despite highly reliable rumours.

4.

You will need to make assumptions about the different prices of common stock compared to pref shares.

However, if I were a betting man my guess is that EWI's Spacex holding as a whole is still valued at the summer Company valuation of $210 billion derived from actual shares sales at that time but that the latest mooted revaluation to $350 billion is still awaiting confirmation until ink has dried.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

Re impact of SpaceX price rise: I contacted the investor relations team at EWI who were very responsive but not able to help. I was told the number of shares held cannot be disclosed due to the NDA with SpaceX. I then asked what the share prices were for the last valuation which would enable that to be backed out. This was also confidential. Seems odd to me.
If we use the hxxps://notice.co/c/spacex for the space X price it suggests that the NAV per share from the 30 April update (97) rising to the current 188 would have increased from 160.7 to 177.7 on an everything-else-being-equal basis. The current NAV is shown as 192.5. So from this my instinct is that Ballie Gifford have updated the NAV calc to reflect the latest share price. The report suggests that unquoted stocks are revalued on a 3 month cycle unless there is material news. This also supports the idea that SpaceX' s ascent has been reflected in their NAV as the increase has been material.

Trying to do some maths on the $185 share valuation of Space x in relation to Edinburgh worldwide. Any views?
Posted at 13/12/2023 11:08 by quepassa
Wow.

Privately owned SpaceX now valued close to $180 billion in new tender offer at $97 per share.

According to trusted Bloomberg today.


A significant uplift in SpaceX valuation which should in due course be reflected in both Scottish Mortgage and even more in Edinburgh Worldwide .

In the COVID tech recovery this shot up and this time around the NASDAQ is well up in 2023 and this part of the market heads ever lower. I looked at some comments today to understand the market conditions better to understand how someone else in this area of the market assessed things. I.e. when we will know there is any sort of recovery to come back in?

BIOG trust update today...

Macroeconomic factors rather than industry fundamentals continued to dominate
portfolio performance during the fiscal year. The fiscal year began with
weakness in the biotech sector in April and May 2022, driven by continued
investor concerns about rising interest rates. Continued rate hikes by the U.S.
Federal Reserve (the Fed) to combat inflation drove down share prices for
unprofitable technology stocks broadly, including emerging biotech. Valuations
for emerging biotech, which had reached 20-year lows, appeared to bottom out in
May and June. In August, drug pricing legislation in the U.S. was passed as part
of the Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act". While the bill allows for limited
drug price negotiation by Medicare starting in 2026, the provisions appear
manageable for the industry and passage of the bill cleared a longstanding
political overhang for the sector. By the end of September, the biotech sector
had begun staging a recovery from depressed levels. In October, a disappointing
round of earnings from large capitalization (cap) technology stocks like Amazon
and Meta and growing recession concerns appeared to draw generalist inflows into
the defensive pharmaceutical sector and large cap biotech. Large cap biotech
outperformance continued in November, but small cap biotech began outperforming
in December, and January 2023. Unfortunately, interest rate expectations became
more hawkish in February when the U.S. announced a lower-than-expected
unemployment rate and higher-than-expected inflation, sending small cap shares
back down. In March, the unexpected failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) had a
particularly negative impact on small cap biotech, many of which were SVB
clients. Even though absolute cash exposure to SVB for most biotech companies
was minimal, renewed risk aversion due to the concerns over the banking system
caused large cap biotech to significantly outperform small cap biotech. This
trading dynamic had a particularly detrimental impact on the Company's relative
performance versus the Benchmark, given that the Company is significantly
overweight small cap names and underweight large cap names. The drawdown in
March accounted for virtually all of the underperformance of the Company's NAV
versus the Benchmark for the fiscal year. Encouragingly, the Company has seen a
rebound in relative performance in April and May 2023, which we hope signals a
more sustained recovery.

I was just watching the tumble weed blowing along on this board and I came across this on the ewi website. A long and interesting history, with links to James Bond!
I for one will continue to hold on through this particular storm, "if necessary lashed to the wheel".
