So, it's "Good bye from me and good bye from him!"

[pvb] 16/4/2016 18:01

So the votes are in and this one is ready to roll over.

Interestingly, quite a lot (~38%) voted to roll over into BNKR rather than HINT.

Reconstruction proposals, circular going to shareholders:

...and back down again.

Ah!

I was wondering what to do about these recently. Thinking it didn't really seem to be going anywhere. I originally bought in to go alongside Bankers (BNKR) as it was cheaper at the time and had a somewhat higher yield. But the yield has remained flat and Bankers seems to perform better. I was thinking of selling and putting the proceeds into BNKR.

They will be offering an option to roll over into Bankers as an alternative to HINT.

I will have to do some more thinking. ;-)

Going to merge with HINT by the look of it because of the large discount and small size.

Well, that announcement narrowed the discount a bit.

[pvb] 28/1/2016 13:38

At about a 14% discount at present. NAV ~ 395p as against current shareprice of under 340p.

[pvb] 18/1/2016 22:15

And is again.

[pvb] 24/8/2015 22:19

This has certainly taken a hammering.

[pvb] 19/2/2015 23:16

Latest factsheet here:

[pvb] 28/11/2014 20:10

NAV now at about 425p.

[pvb] 25/11/2014 22:29

This has been looking a lot more perky of late!

[pvb] 25/10/2014 14:29

NAV currently about 400p, so discount now around 12.5%

[pvb] 26/8/2014 10:14

Current NAV about 410p now

[pvb] 01/7/2014 16:36

Current NAV about 398p

2013 YE Results:


Hasn't really gone anywhere since the previous YE, has it? Same div as last year, 10p, paid partially out of reserves (as last year) as eps 9.35p, last year was 9.57p.

Change of portfolio manager! Brian O'Neill to retire, to be replaced by Wouter Volckaert from 31 January 2014.

[pvb] 21/8/2013 16:23

Prices are getting volatile!

[argoal] 29/5/2013 08:18

Thanks pvb.

I'd missed that they were changing the mandate. I have no problem with a bit more diversity in the mix.

[pvb] 28/5/2013 16:05

Mandate change went through. Now will move to single index MSCI Worldwide (?) bench mark and therefore hold less UK equities and more US and emerging markets.

[pvb] 25/1/2013 20:30

Well I bought in a while ago. Of course it has risen - like everything else! It will be interesting to see how it compares to Bankers (BNKR) in the longer term.

[argoal] 03/12/2012 13:36

I had my eye on bankers as well but the discount here was too great to resist.

Currently discount at 10% for a basket of global blue chip companies. Top 10 holding below. Also like the management charge of 0.87% pa. Lower than most ITs.

Royal Dutch Shell PLC B 3.9
Nestle SA 3.1
Vodafone Group Plc 3.0
BP Plc 2.8
HSBC Holdings Plc 2.8
Syngenta AG 2.6
Novartis AG 2.5
GlaxoSmithKline Plc 2.5
British American Tobacco 2.2
Oracle Corporation 2.2

Apolgies for lack of formatting.

I'm thinking of buying in. I already hold Bankers IT (BNKR). Bankers is currently reported as having a smaller discount than usual, hence my interest in HGL, which also now has a higher yield.

[argoal] 28/9/2012 08:46

Anyone else follow this IT?

Global exposure. 3% yield. Good discount to Nav
