24/9/2018 15:07	So today FSFL got authority to place a lot of shares at the AGM. Will that knock the price? My guess is yes, so sold a tranche today (which was marked as a buy because my broker got a good price). Am bettng that either I can take part in the placing or I can buy them back for a lower price - we shall see.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
05/9/2018 09:43	I'm naturally suspicious about selling assets from Foresight Group to FSFL. It sounds good having exclusivity over the deal ;) I don't have a feel on whether it's a good deal but I'm sure it's good for the management fees ... Won't stop me holding though.	rustle2	Read Full Thread Reply

22/2/2018 07:52	Pretty good results published today. See https://www.investegate.co.uk/foresight-slr-fnd-ld/fsfl/foresight-solar-fund-limited---annual-financial---/20180222070018H0834/?fe=1&utm_source=FE%20Investegate%20Alerts&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=Announcement%20Alert%20Mail&utm_campaign=Foresight%20Slr%20Fnd%20Ld%20Alert Dividend rises with RPI to 6.58 pence next year. Forward yield is 6.20% NAV up "During the year, the Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Ordinary Share increased by 4.1 pence from 102.9 pence as at 31 December 2016 to 107.0 pence as at 31 December 2017.". so now trading at a discount. The discount rate is in line with the move by BSIF to 7% compared with TRIG which is 8%. I have enough so am not topping up.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
21/2/2018 08:00	Results out tomorrow. Wonder if they will keep the inflation link in their dividend policy.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
03/11/2017 08:04	Yes, Gateside, I do hold most of these at any one time though I may be out of one if it seems a bit toppy - so I am out of UKW at the moment. I do tend to trade in and out of them - particularly when they are about to raise more money - and tend to make an extra 3 to 6% on the trades. I particularly like JLEN, TRIG and FSFL and BSIF for an annual trade. It's peak dividend period is about the turn of the year and so I dive in in October (ish)and out again just after the turn of the year dividends. Amusingly and luckily this year I swapped EMP for BSIF on 16th August when both their share prices were 111.75. - purely for yield - EMP went down (a lot!) and BSIF went up. And I captured the 8th Sept dividend on BSIF as well. As you say with markets at all time highs, inflation linked yields of 6% or so are very attractive.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
02/11/2017 21:03	A0002577 I believe that you have all 6 of the Renewable Energy funds? I have held JLEN and TRIG since shortly after they floated. I like their mixture of Solar and Wind. Both also have interests in France with JLEN also having waste and waste water processing plants and TRIG having exposure to Ireland as well. Always felt that the extra diversification would mean that they would perform well. Though it would seem for some reason, that the 3 Funds which focus on just Solar have done better, and the sole wind company UKW has performed even better. Not sure why this is the case. Any thoughts? Anyhow I like the sector and last month added BSIF and today I bought FSFL Interesting that FSFL see growth by investing overseas in Australia, whereas BSIF, are staying put in the UK and on focusing on the southern England. The management for both seem to know what they are doing. I see NESF have moved into Italy this week, will be interesting to see which poses to be the best market overseas – Italy or Australia? For now NESF and UKW just remain on my watch list. With Markets at highs… investing in green energy with approximately a 6% dividend, paid quarterly, with limited risk to capital, is an attractive proposition. I see the sector doing well.	gateside	Read Full Thread Reply
02/11/2017 18:42	I like it too, Gateside. Does introduce a currency risk though - and we are in interesting times with Brexit looming on the not too distant horizon. However, Australia has had a very long period of continuous growth so it's currency should/might strengthen	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
02/11/2017 15:27	Like their expansion into Australia, which adds some extra diversification and keeps this low risk. Goes Ex-dividend next week.	gateside	Read Full Thread Reply

23/8/2016 08:17	To answer my own question in post 14 it seems to have been the Q2 recovery in power prices. For FSFL latest quoted figures are 0.75p change per share for 1% change in power prices as fund split between ROC payments and power purchase.	rustle2	Read Full Thread Reply
02/8/2016 19:11	I have all six as well as two others Ventus (VEN) and Ventus 2 (VEN2) which happen to be the best yielders of the lot at over 8% tax free and trade at 20% below NAV - but they are not for the faint-hearted.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
02/8/2016 14:32	I have TRIG & JLENThey have both been rising too. Both yield 6% and are low risk.	gateside	Read Full Thread Reply
02/8/2016 14:30	The Solar/Wind shares I follow BSIF, FSFL, UKW have all been on the rise recently but I struggle to see exactly why. Are they seen as safe havens amongst the uncertainty?	rustle2	Read Full Thread Reply

19/3/2016 07:50	Agree with the above. I had a go at looking at the discount to NAV although tricky with all the differing div dates etc but FSFL does seem to offer the best value but it seems to consistently be at a higher discount and I can't see why. Unsure exactly how to value the wind shares against solar as they have different risks.	rustle2	Read Full Thread Reply
18/3/2016 19:57	Of the 'infrastructure' shares (BSIF,NESF,FSFL,JLEN,TRIG,UKW)- this seems to offer best value at the moment even though BSIF offers a greater yield.	a0002577	Read Full Thread Reply
09/3/2016 16:08	With a yield of over 6% these were looking cheap, hit by falling commodity and electricity prices, electricity prices in the UK are starting to firm as oil and gas prices increase, if that continues I expect further buying of these, very good income stock	nickelmer	Read Full Thread Reply
09/3/2016 14:54	ex-div 10 March 1.52p so that doesn't explain it all. Quoted Nav 99p 31-dec-15.	rustle2	Read Full Thread Reply
07/3/2016 17:37	I sold out of FSFL when the sentiment against solar turned. Thks for the post as I had not realised a recovery was underway. I suspect it's down to the results announced a week ago and the ongoing momentum from that. The company turned in a reasonable profit. I'd also like to hear other opinions as well.	webclick99	Read Full Thread Reply
07/3/2016 16:42	Is anybody else here? If so, do you know why these have jumped please?	pickledcabbage	Read Full Thread Reply
19/11/2014 12:34	all quiet here - the share price continues to go northwards. demand for solar seems unabated in listed space.	edwardt	Read Full Thread Reply
08/10/2014 14:09	agree as long as the govt does not renege on the ROC benefits - i suspect not but a risk nonetheless.	edwardt	Read Full Thread Reply
