Posted at 21/3/2024 22:29 by spangle93 Citywire comment on HNE, and the proposed merger with HEFTChair Nicola Ralston said that the merger to make a £750m Henderson European Trust would not only marry ‘excellent&rsq |
Posted at 16/3/2024 10:04 by steve3sandal1 At first look this seems OK. Potential to pick up 10% turn in HNE as they get close to NAV for their exchange into HEFT. This was recognised immediately of course and it's had a couple of up days. European champions suggests HEFT process and mandate prevails which suits me. Hopefully in the long run we get more liquidity tighter spread not that I trade these...and a lower discount. I will just keep holding and back to snooze. good luck all. |
Posted at 14/3/2024 19:12 by spangle93 Proposal to merge HEFT with Henderson EuroTrust plc (HNE)Aim to wind up HNE. "The Combined Trust will bring together their respective expertise and proven track records of benchmark outperformance under a single mandate: to maximise total return by investing in companies predominantly listed in Europe (excluding the UK). Its focus will be on Europe's "global champions" - large, established and well-managed businesses operating internationally but based in Europe. The Combined Trust expects to hold a concentrated list of stocks, selected with no particular style bias but with an emphasis on potential for long-term growth in the context of enduring global trends. " ... "As part of the Proposals, HNE intends to pay out substantially all of its net income before it enters into liquidation. HEFT intends to pay out an enlarged interim dividend prior to completion of the Scheme to ensure that its existing shareholders receive a dividend in line with HEFTs previous financial year of 4.35p per share and that the revenue reserves are protected. This will likely require a smaller final dividend from the Combined Trust in respect of the financial year ending 30 September 2024" Citywire Summary Seems like HNE shareholders will do better, as a result of the merger, than HEFT |
Posted at 25/6/2023 10:47 by spangle93 Latest paid research on HEFT |
Posted at 07/6/2023 16:38 by shieldbug In 2022 HEFT borrowed 25m Euros at 1.53% redeemable in 2041 and another 10m Euros at 1.66% redeemable in 2052.Current market cap 387m Euros - So they have 9% of current market cap in low cost - long term gearing. When you look at a lot of ITs their borrowing is simply horrendous. |
Posted at 04/2/2022 17:43 by spangle93 Kepler research updateHEFT continues to trade at a wide Discount, 11.5% currently, wider than its peers and its own five year average of 7.2%. Thanks to the combination of the COVID-19 recovery and supply chain shocks we are already seeing see a resurgence in inflation, which may bring an end to the dominance of growth investing given its upwards pressure on bond yields and negative impact on the ‘long duration’ trade. If investors believe that such a scenario is likely in the near term, then they may find themselves aligned with the views of the team behind HEFT, who continue to look for signs of a material rise in bond yields and the opportunity to reposition accordingly. Likewise, more cautious investors who do not want to be exposed to extreme valuations may also find HEFT an attractive choice given the managers’ intentional avoidance of both expensive growth and deep value stocks. |
Posted at 22/1/2020 09:09 by robow from Citywire Investment Trust InsiderPeel Hunt picks Henderson European as value tip for 2020 By Michelle McGagh 21 Jan, 2020 Peel Hunt has added Henderson European Focus (HEFT) to its list of ‘value’- Value investment trusts are those whose fund managers look for cheap, out-of-favour stocks, as opposed to 'growth' investors who are prepared to buy more expensive stocks growing faster than the market. In practice, the value vs growth split is more fluid than is often suggested, with 'growth at a reasonable price' a frequent compromise among professional investors. Nevertheless, funds and trusts with more of a growth outlook have undoubtedly done better than their value counterparts in the past 10 years. However, that may have started to change last year with value trusts rebounding in the fourth quarter of 2019. In retrospect, Peel Hunt investment company analysts Anthony Leatham and Priyan Rayatt timed their punt very well a year ago. Their choice of AVI Global (AGT), the former British Empire; Law Debenture (LWDB), which my editor Gavin Lumsden bought for his Sipp after the election; Fidelity Special Values (FSV); Aberforth Smaller Companies (ASL); Temple Bar (TMPL) and Polar Capital Global Financials (PCFT) - all in some ways either overlooked or feeling out-of-sync with markets - beat their stockmarket benchmarks and, with their share prices re-rating, generated impressive shareholder returns of between 18% and 40%. Not surprisingly, after such gains, the analysts have overhauled the list, retaining Aberforth and Temple Bar and adding Henderson European Focus, Gabelli Value Plus (GVP), a US smaller companies trust that faces an uncertain future after a bruising clash with wealth manager and shareholder Investec; Jupiter Emerging and Frontier Income (JEFI), which our columnist Ian Cowie recently bought for his pension, and Seneca Global Income and Growth (SIGT). ‘After numerous false dawns, we are convinced it is a case of when not if the value style stages a recovery,’ they said. After struggling to compete with highly-rated growth stocks and “bond proxies”, the prospect of a material rebound remains across a number of regions. We highlight six trusts we believe have portfolios primed to benefit from this journey.’ HEFT focus We are focusing on HEFT because of the four additions, it is the only one that is not a corporate broking client of Peel Hunt. The £288 million portfolio is managed by John Bennett, who Leatham described as ‘pragmaticR Bennett (pictured) is shifting to a higher conviction strategy by reducing the number of stocks in the portfolio to take bigger bets. He currently holds 46 stocks, towards the bottom of his previous 40-60 range, but is looking to stick within a tighter range of 30-40 in future, with positions of around 5% of assets more common than the former 2-4% average. Performance bounced back last year with 24.3% growth in the underlying net asset value (NAV), 4 percentage points ahead of the FTSE World ex-UK index, underpinning an even better 31.5% total return for shareholders. That made up for a bad 2018 when the shares fell 20.8%. Bennett has run HEFT for nine of its past 10 years and so can take most of the credit for the 11.4% average annual growth in NAV since 2010, which beats the 8.5% of its benchmark and ‘exemplifies the manager’s stock-picking skills’. Although, its 179.6% total shareholder return over 10 years is below the Europe trust sector average of 200.5%, Leatham believed the trust's 9% discount - wider than its sector average of 7% - offered good value for a high quality portfolio overweight in large industrials, consumer goods and healthcare stocks, at the expense of financials, where he avoids banks due to the competitive threat from new challengesrs. ‘The equity market has been perceived as broadly unloved but in sterling terms the European index has recovered strongly from a damaging 2018,’ said Leatham. ‘HEFT provides investors with exposure to a new European equity story and is currently trading at an attractive discount,’ the analyst said. |
