what you expect when all the money has gone back into oil. It will come back around when they realise the long term value

[topvest] 11/2/2022 16:34

Yes, still a great company. Growth shares are being hammered at the moment. Valuation OK now as on a 3% yield. I top sliced some near the highs, but I am happy to keep holding a core holding long term.

Thanks varies

sloppy joe.
IPX was on a very high rating at 1400p + and, of course, we should all have sold our shares then !
Assets under Management were rising inexorably, so it seemed, ebullient stock markets and new funds coming in.
The rating is now less out of line with that of rivals and I hope to see some recovery. There seems no reason to suspect that there is anything fundamentally wrong.

This has lost a third since its peak. Anyone know what's going on?

[varies] 07/2/2022 10:59

thanks TRINKA9

[jwmarkets] 07/2/2022 10:30

Thanks both.

The dividend is payable around 29th March Xd on 10th February.

[varies] 07/2/2022 09:02

There is a dividend of 17p payable on 13 Feb
The xd date was shown as the 10th but I wonder if it has been brought forward to today

AuM down from 31 Dec by c8% at at 31 Jan, from numbers on the company's website this morning. Which I'm guessing is the reason the stock's down this morning? I was guessing 10-15% from peak so either less beta than I expected or better inflows. Either way, unless there's something (?) I'm missing the drop today looks a bit aggressive given it's not unexpected IMHO. Been picking up more at this level...

The latest (free to access) Equity Development research has a forward adjusted / diluted EPS of 43.9p, so c 24.6x. I think you're probably looking at historic PE? With no analysis on my part to back it up I'd say fund managers trade on a forward PE of around 12-17x generally... but peers will generally be very lucky to get the same % inflow over a year that Impax gets over a quarter. Over time that's a big difference in AuM and revenue growth. For as long as I've been tracking it (say 2014 onwards) IPX has been the highest rated fund manager in terms of multiples. If you like ratios, the PEG (forward PE over long term growth in EPS) would be 24.6/45%* = 0.6, an old rule of thumb is

As someone who took profits towards end of last year I have been wondering what is a good level to get back in at. I had a couple of queries - when I look at the PE it still looks quite high in current market at about 36. Do fund managers tend to have higher PEs?

[jwmarkets] 26/1/2022 08:59

Impax is on a forward dividend yield close to 3%. Versus 10 year treasury on c1.8% with hawkish FED comments baked in... with long term momentum in sustainability IPX looks pretty attractive at these levels IMHO. AuM could be down 10% from highs, say, but sustainability themes could perform well in the face of various prospective sanctions on Russia, not to mention risks further out re tensions with China and Iran. I would be interested to hear if anyone has any negatives on investment case, other than recent market movements (turbo beta play, etc etc re wider market rotation out of growth / likely AuM drop in the short term at least).

[jwmarkets] 13/1/2022 12:01

I'd be against that, as you lose IHT relief as an individual investor

[stevenlondon3] 11/1/2022 11:19

Currently Impax is quoted on AIM. Has the company commented on moving to the senior market? Thanks in advance. Steven

The AUM growth in Q1 was ahead of Equity Developments forecast growth rate for FY 2022 but it is early days : their forecasts held, as is fundamental value at 1450p / share.

New note and audio summary just out - free access here

I have spread bet Blackrock smaller companies which have these in their portfolio as second biggest holding outside of WOSG .Also spread bet these individually. Much safer way to spread bet trusts rather than shares imo.

[wjccghcc] 10/1/2022 07:49

And 2bn net inflows in the quarter.

[trinka9] 10/1/2022 07:46

A further increase of Assets under management last month adding £4.2 billion for
First quarter 2021/22.Looks as if Equity Development’s forecast of £44.9 billion for year 2021/22 could be very conservative subject to market conditions.

Just waiting on a thermal, then we'll be off to new heights... :)
