Posted at 30/11/2024 09:31 by spangle93 Investment company activist Metage Capital has demanded HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) introduce quarterly tenders or wind-up the £3.4bn ($4.3bn) portfolio to rectify the chronically wide discount on its shares.In an open letter to shareholders, Metage chief investment officer Tom Sharp said the capital allocation policy announced by HVPE’s chair Ed Warner in February had clearly failed with the shares standing 45% below net asset value at the end of October. continues |
Posted at 29/11/2024 14:34 by the real stan Good point here. Personally I am loading up on HVPE as buying at current discount is better value than committing to a new fund at par. So why doesn't HVPE do the same? |
Posted at 29/11/2024 11:30 by donald pond Someone on a twitter group tipped me off.It is getting traction and in this article the suggestion is that Metage owns 0.9% of HVPE: |
Posted at 29/11/2024 11:20 by integer very interesting DP. how did you find the article? Do you know if Metage funds hold any HVPE? |
Posted at 03/11/2024 20:20 by steelbreeze The Investor Presentation on Tuesday 5 Nov is a good chance to grill them over their pathetic buyback policy. To me the key questions are:HVPE recently made a large new fund commitment. What return is anticipated on this investment? How can this be expected to outperform the instant and risk-free 72.4% NAV uplift that would be earned by using this cash instead to buy back more shares at 58p in the pound (a 42% discount)? HVPE presumably expects to outperform listed equities. By paying no dividend (whilst most equities do) it must therefore expect to become an ever-larger proportion of investors’ portfolios. But the current massive discount clearly shows that investors do not want to hold even the current NAV. Will the Board finally accept that shareholder interests would be best served by reversing this, i.e. for the fund to shrink substantially by making no new commitments and instead distributing 100% of cash receipts? |

Posted at 09/10/2024 14:09 by skyship MrScruff - in reality buybacks are not distributions. Dividends are.HVPE buybacks are pretty insignificant; and of course dividends ZILCH. Nevertheless, I do trade HVPE from time to time; though always holding my nose and recognising that the HVPE managers/directors care nothing for shareholders. They just want to maximise their fees; and paying a dividend would of course hold back the NAV increase. |
Posted at 30/5/2024 16:16 by spangle93 Citywire summaryWith the company planning to treble the amount of money for share buybacks in the next two years to tackle its 42% discount, the widest in its peer group, chair Ed Warner said: ‘The investment case for HVPE remains compelling. The company has outperformed public equity markets over the past 10 years, and we are optimistic that this will continue in the long term.’ .... In February HVPE announced it would create a distribution pool, storing 15% of cash profits for share buybacks and special dividends to enhance shareholder returns while their stakes were undervalued. Around $52m has been allocated to the pool, though this is expected to rise to between $150m and $250m in 2024 and 2025. Speaking to Citywire, Warner stressed the manager would not be deducting any costs from the distributions, an ‘evergreen&rsq ‘I don’t accept that [we were slow to act] on the basis that HVPE has been in existence since 2007 and has significantly outperformed the public markets and pretty much all the peer group by taking a long-term view. I’ve watched some other funds make decisions and come up with policies that, to my mind, they might regret at leisure. ‘And that’s why we came up with something which is very much evergreen – it doesn’t have caveats around where our discount might be at any one time and what calls on the balance sheet of the funds might be that would then determine buybacks. We’ve thought very carefully about the need to give shareholders dependability and visibility,’ he said. Investors can look at HVPE’s monthly net asset value returns, see what the distributions are and work out exactly how much will be spent on buybacks, he added |
Posted at 04/2/2024 20:24 by cerrito I held HVPE about 8 years ago and was impressed by Harborvest when they managed £50m for a pension fund I was involved in the last decade but they have been out of sight out of mind for me till I read today the following in Citywire.Will contain nothing new for many of you but interesting for some of you will be a good synopsis. quote HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) hopes to finally narrow its wide share price discount after it announced plans to return more capital to shareholders and move to a fully independent board. In response to shareholder feedback, including from wealth manager Quilter Cheviot, which began red-carding weak boards last September, the global private equity investor will establish a ‘distribution pool’ funded by profits on disposals that will be used for share buybacks and special dividends. The board and manager have agreed that 15% of cash realisations will go to the pool, which launches immediately, helped by a decision to place on hold a ‘specific̵ The company has languished on a discount of about 40% since 2022, giving the £3.1bn portfolio of funds and direct company stakes a market value of £1.8bn. A £25m buyback plan launched last May did nothing to move the dial. HVPE has purchased £45m worth of shares since September 2022 but expects the returns from the pool to be ‘materially greater’. As an indication, it said total annual cash proceeds received from disposals averaged $568m (£448.9m) over the last three calendar years. HVPE said that in deciding the timing, amount and nature of distributions, it would take into account the macroeconomic environment, the discount, market sentiment and ‘relative merits of distributing capital against the potential benefit of committing to new investment opportunities’ Ed Warner, chair of HVPE, said he had ‘engaged actively’ with shareholders in coming up with the proposals, and that the ‘new, more flexible policy, including the potential to pay dividends for the first time since HVPE was created, will make a significant difference to shareholders’. ‘It will help ensure they benefit more directly from the strong value growth delivered by HVPE’s high-quality portfolio, which has consistently outperformed public market benchmarks over the long term,’ he said. HVPE has delivered total underlying returns of 121% and 349% over five years and 10 years respectively, compared with the MSCI World, which rose 77% and 210%. However, investors haven’t reaped all the benefit as the shares have returned 62% and 254% over the same periods. Activity from the private equity sector has picked up in recent months after Pantheon International (PIN) was applauded by analysts for its ‘bold’ £200m buyback plan, with the board called ‘a leader’ in the space. Earlier this month, Abrdn Private Equity (APEO) said it was planning to use proceeds from selling its stake in Dutch discount retailer Action to start a buyback programme. Board independence The investment company also improved its governance structure following feedback from shareholders, including wealth manager Quilter Cheviot, who holds 4.6% of shares. Carolina Espinal, a managing director at HVPE, will not stand for re-election as a non-executive director at the annual general meeting in July. As a result, the board will be fully independent of its investment manager. However, Espinal and Richard Hickman, another managing director at HVPE, will be non-voting participants of the board and join the investment committee alongside managing director John Toomey and chief investment officer Greg Steno. ‘Board independence is an increasingly important area of focus for investors and I am confident HVPE will be viewed as having adopted best practice in this regard,’ said Warner. In September, the wealth management firm said it was opposed to employees of a trust’s fund manager sitting on the board as a non-independent as it set out its wider expectations for boards of the sector. Gemma Woodward, head of responsible investment at Quilter Cheviot, said she had engaged with the private equity company on independence and was ‘really pleased to see HVPE’s board take the move to become fully independent’. ‘It is good to see the power proactive engagement can have to help get boards acting in the interests of shareholders,’ said Woodward. ‘This sets a strong example to other trusts within the sector, which continue to have manager representation on the board.’ Quilter Cheviot’s sister company Quilter Investors also has a stake in HVPE with 2.5% of shares. Other large shareholders include M&G with 7.5%, Evelyn Partners and Lothian pension fund with 5.6% apiece, and Schroders with 5%. |
Posted at 27/6/2022 09:11 by kenmitch SKYSHIP.Might an even bigger discount attract investors to a fabulous bargain price? I like dividends but not token ones. We’ve argued buybacks to death but whatever the plus and minus points there’s no guarantee that other than temporarily they will see the NAV discount narrow. e.g SREI (I hold) buybacks don’t seem to have helped with the crazy SREI current 32% discount and it was even wider last week. Does HVPE performance really justify your view that “There is no buffer as there is no return.” HVPE performance isn’t bad:- That’s similar to the sector average except over 10 years where at UP 345% it lags sector average of Up 455%. Have just seen that HVPE share price is up 75p/3.7% so far today. Like others HVPE looks very oversold. |
