Read Edison's note on HENDERSON FAR EAST INCOME LT (HFEL), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/company/JE00B1GXH751
"Henderson Far East Income (HFEL) seeks to blend the superior growth prospects of investing in Asia with a focus on generating a high income. With a current dividend yield of 6.9%, it is comfortably the highest yielding of its close peer group, and manager Michael Kerley also sees potential for double-digit dividend growth in the portfolio over the next 12 months. Capital performance has been more muted in a period of volatility as investors have focused on the risks arising from a slowdown in China, but NAV total returns in the half-year ended 29 February 2016 were positive in absolute terms and ahead of the FTSE Asia Pacific ex-Japan index benchmark. Having traded at an average premium to NAV of 0.6% since launch in 2007, the fund currently stands at a small discount..."

Soupdragon I think you are wrong with the XD date, you have said the 6th of May which is a Friday. The correct date is Thursday May 5th.

I see NAV continues to creep up and has now got back above 300p. THe share price has now moved to a slight discount of 3-4%.

[aleman] 13/4/2016 10:03

Moving averages look enticing now. Golden cross approaching?

And zooming in on recent action, we see the 200-day turning up as the 50-day approaches. This is looking quite promising for a move up if the current price gets topside of the 200-day.

[aleman] 05/4/2016 18:41

HFEL seems to be trying to regain the 200-day average.

Coolio - i've been thing about this or SOI or AAIF as alternative home to my AAS allocation. I'll carry on thinking for a bit fund.

[aleman] 04/2/2016 10:44

No. You had to buy before today so you own them when they went ex-dividend before this morning's open.

[joy division still] 04/2/2016 10:36

Ex divi today - does that mean if you buy today you get the divi?

We seem to be living in Yo-Yo land.

Hi,

I bought an additional 805 shares in my ISA this morning to reach my target holding of 5,000 HFEL shares. I decided not to wait until a possible fall into the 250's, paying just under 262 a share.

Although the technicals still don't look great, with the China GDP numbers out tonight (UK time) my gut feeling is that world markets are so depressed any good news from China should calm nerves and hopefully lift markets. The near 7% yield with a dividend due next month looked too good to pass up!

This holding is LTBH.

Hi all,

I decided to buy some AAIF because of the discount on offer and broader geographical spread/diversity. It comes with a 5% yield.
This is a long term hold for me based on growth in Asia and growth in dividend payments.
Thanks.

[pvb] 15/1/2016 17:41

2.6% down today. Ouch!

[carterit] 15/1/2016 16:24

bsharman3 - am in pretty much the same boat myself,and am now holding both. AAIF as you say is at a larger discount of approx 10% currently,though historically it had been trading at a 2-5% above its NAV,and is now yielding just under 6%,so i think both of them are good ones to hold. During the crises of 2008,both these fund fell approx 30%,which was good considring that most markets at the time fell >50%,so i am hoping that this could be an indication that we are close to the bottom this time round as well - as both these funds are again approx 30% or so off their highs. Over the period 2007 to date,AAIF has performed slightly the better,and is at a greater discount,so i do have a few more of AAIF than HFEL,but i do think that both are good trusts to have

[aleman] 14/1/2016 14:23

Is the Chinese slowdown being exaggerated?

[droid] 14/1/2016 13:20

HFEL's much lower discount is probably due to it being more popular with investors. Probably fairer to ask the same question on the AAIF thread.
