Citywire write up
If HET shareholders choose to decline the rollover into FEV, they can opt for a cash exit of up to 33.3% of share capital, at a 1.75% discount to net asset value (NAV). HET shares jumped 3.3% on the news


Winterflood Securities head of research Emma Bird said the merger ‘makes good sense’.

‘HET shareholders will benefit from significantly increased scale, with associated improved secondary market liquidity and lower ongoing costs, further enhanced by the reduction in management fee,’ she said.

‘FEV shareholders will also benefit from increased scale and reduced ongoing charges, with Fidelity’s cost contribution ensuring there is no dilution. We also view it as best practice that HET shareholders are being offered a cash exit.’


Peel Hunt analyst Anthony Leatham said ‘the consolidation across the sector continues’.

‘Since the beginning of 2023, we have counted over 60 mergers, acquisitions, or wind-up and realisation transactions or proposals, with the universe - excluding real estate - having shrunk from 310 to 250,’ he said.

Farewell HET, HINT, HEFT.

All going to become part of the much bigger FEV



There's a cash option for 1/3 of shares, but this will be at a 1.75% plus unspecified costs to the fair asset value, so it doesn't appear that it will be a huge incentive to cash in.

Otherwise the 1-year and 5-year performance of the trusts look very similar, and the dividend paid is broadly the same.

There's less overlap of holdings than I thought, though both hold Total and ASML, and France is the largest country for both at 25%

So I guess there'll be little resistance to the move

I think that's positive to Trump tariffs being negotiable not the rushed unforseen temporary appointments. HET is badly wounded. Old manager JB has a tonne and the Board are now under pressure delivery the second strategy in 2 years...the merger having failed to achieve the marketed outcome.

Not the best day on the markets to announce the surprise departure of the two co-managers :-(



and comment



on the plus side, "The Board confirms its intent to continue the operation of the share buyback policy and, considering this development, has decided to introduce a target of maintaining a single-digit discount"

Short note prepared by Kepler



The share price and NAV will have to motor over the next 8.5 months to meet past performance

Thamestrader - BRGE would be another obvious comparison point in your unofficial contest. I found that FEV, HET, and BRGE all held Novo Nordisk and ASML as their two top contributors.

It would also be interesting to add a couple of smaller company focused trusts, such as MTE, ESCT,or JEDT, to see whether there is a systematic disconnect

So, two weeks into my European fund/trust fight-off:

JEGI: -0.7%
FEV: 0%
Artemis OEIC: +1.4%
HET: +1.7%
EUE: +3.5%

Obviously two weeks' data means very little, and over the longer term, I suspect my biggest holding, Artemis (17% YTD) will thrash the others (EUE 7.5%, HET 3% plus divis).

This has not got off to a flying start since its re-birth as HET. While Europe in general has been lacklustre recently, others funds & trusts do seem to be faring slightly better.

As well as HET, I also hold an Artemis OEIC plus an iShares tracker (EUE). This week I added FEV and JEGI, making me overweight in Europe. Unless the region goes into hyperdrive in the next few weeks, I will restore the balance by dumping whichever I consider weakest. At the moment they would be HET and EUE, but watch this space.

Henderson European (HET)
Rating: Positive

At the start of July, Henderson European Focus Trust and Henderson EuroTrust merged to form a combined trust called Henderson European.

The enlarged trust is on a slightly wider discount than the sector average at 10% versus 7.3%, which Stifel reckons is ‘fair’ giving the imminent retirement of Citywire + rated manager John Bennett at the end of this month to focus on chairing Rangers Football Club.

He has presided over a 77.7% share price total return over five years, according to Deutsche Numis figures.

‘We’ll keep a close eye on performance under the newly combined team,’ said Stifel.

So by some oddity this old thread has not been used since 2006 for a share with a ticker of HET. It's now tracking the share price of Henderson European Trust formerly Henderson European Focus Trust . I do t know how to add share price charts or news. Any help gratefully received.
