Quite. We may have a bit of a wait before seeing a premium.

Had a reply from Sir John Ward regarding the Script dividend issue. The shares are received at NAV which "protects other shareholders from being diluted in net asset terms".
The benefit the gentleman at the meeting had was from CGT rules apparently!

He concurs that "any advantage which may be available to shareholders will be mitigated by the extent of the discount at which shares may trade in the market at that point in time". He has promised to ensure the point is underlined in future Annual Reports. I'm sticking to receiving the dividend in cash until it moves to a premium!

Whilst we wait for his reply, perhaps the benefits is Income Tax? You pay tax on a dividend, but no income tax on the proceeds from the sale of a share.
Anyway we shall see what he says.

I have written to the Chairman (Sir John Ward) today after speaking to the EAT Technical Team to confirm how it operates

Pherrom: When I was at the Shareholder Briefing this month, it was suggested that this worked in your favour, but your point is well made and I agree it needs further investigation. Thank you for commenting and raising what maybe a glaring error!

Isn't it the shares which stand at a discount to the net asset value which is about 770p a share? So you would be paying about 80p more per share.

Apparently if you opt for shares in lieu of the cash dividend, you get them at NAV rather than current share price. The NAV has been standing at quite a larger discount (10%+) so this means you get a double win. Nothing stopping you selling the shares the next day! Can't understand why everyone doesn't do this. No brainer?

Very impressive presentation given by the newish Fund Mgr. at the Shareholder Briefing.They are finding good value in Europe which they consider has been overlooked due everyone being mad on China, India etc which now look pricey.
I believe the dividend may even increase from 6%. Still at a sizeable discount to NAV so this seem a very good buy both for growth & income. If bought more folding the briefing.

Interesting articles in the Sunday Times today about how China is prepared to invest in Europe and support the Euro. Perhaps we have an unexpected White Knight and EAT stocks will benefit. The new Fund Mgr. certainly seems to have improved the performance since his recent appointment. Worth reading his monthly FACT SHEET on the Foreign & Colonial web site.

With a buying price of £5.80 there is a discount of 15% and the yield is now about 6.3%. Seems a good way to diversify a portfolio structured for income.

Well the new Fund Manager is now in place (Paras Anand). He spoke very well at the Shareholder Briefing and seemed to be quite switched on.He is head of European Equities with overall responsibility for Foreign & Colonials Continental European and Pan European Equities team. European stocks are cheap, and I'm hoping he will deliver growth and a continuation of the nice 6% dividend.

Attended Shareholder Briefing. Chairman at pains to say that performance was not good enough and that action will be taken (in conjunction with F&C) to get things back on track. Admitted they were too cautious last year. Cash was held and gearing funds not used to maximise on Bull run. Confirmed 6% dividend would be maintained hoevever. Good questions from the floor wanting better results. My outtake was overall positive. Implied the strong coys of Europe would get stronger as the weak get weaker or are absorbed. Implied it was a good environment for well managed equity funds. Watch for news on how they plan to address the underperformance - within the next month or so I would say.

Seems to have slowed up a bit, but discount strong (nearly 10%) and yield over 4%. This sector seems to becoming into favour. Any views?

The bottom has gone, the discount is large, the Euro gets stronger, a share to hold and enjoy.

CapnTubs,

There must be a few of us but lets face it there's not a lot to say.
I bought some March last year at £8.20, held in an ISA. The divis not bad and the price development good. Should be safely through the £10 barrier soon.

Not sure at what point to take a profit or will it continue to prosper.

The sister fund is British Assets BSET, again good divi but relatively poor price development.

Looks like it's just me then!

Breaking out again. This stock pays a forward dividend each year based on 6% of it's NAV at year end.

It rose in value last year by 29% thereby giving a 35% return.
