Oh dear a desperate punter ;-)

Time to load up here....;-)

10 year bond yields lowest in 4 months now, looking good....:-)

[davethehorse] 15/7/2024 09:59

What price if these did look like getting into the FTSE250? 1000p plus again...

[davethehorse] 15/7/2024 09:50

Which could well happen again over the course of the next month or 2.....then lift off....what a bargain these look

[mister md] 15/7/2024 08:08

yump - I think the recent spike (and the dip that followed) was more to do with potential FTSE 250 inclusion

[rcturner2] 15/7/2024 05:51

Yield alone has the potential to be very misleading. For some shares it can feel a bit like those politicians that bribe you with your own money.

MisterMD

Without knowing the right variables to look for, there are no signals. Unless you just go on the chart, which has taken a tumble out of its promising uptrend.

PS
If you hadn’t noticed, most other high yielding income stocks have not taken a dive off their recovery uptends, (even the renewables) so this is company specific.

Indeed 11 percent won’t be around forever

[davethehorse] 14/7/2024 17:11

Doesn't get much fatter than 11% :-)

[barnes4] 14/7/2024 14:12

I am very happy with the phat dividend here

[mister md] 14/7/2024 14:02

yump - thing is, if you wait for all the signals to turn green, you may end up paying over 1000p to get back in, as well as missing out on the bumper dividends.

Well I’ve had a good look and amswered my own question.

It appears that Liontrust funds are mainly for private investors, so its a bit of a jump to assume an inflow of money anytime soon. If the outflows are due to cost of living problems, that money won’t magically come back.

If a big proportion is from overseas, not the UK, then that’s dependent on overseas available wealth. If thats healthy then the result here might be more dependent on sentiment and view of our market.

However those details on what recovery is actually dependent on, have not been covered by the company - at least I can’t find it easily. The outlook seems to be a generic and rather general statement.

Whatever you think LIO is undervalued.....800p target short term

[fabius1] 14/7/2024 09:25

Faith and hope are not words I would comfortably associate with managing the uncertainties of the financial world against the fickle nature of politicians. Seems more like a plea to get back to the 'good old days' of the asset inflating printing press.

Liontrust says things will only get better for fund groups under Labour
Liontrust boss John Ions is hopeful of growth under Labour as a trading statement shows outflows slowing to £900m in the latest quarter.

Liontrust (LIO) chief executive John Ions has put his faith in the new Labour government to improve the outlook for the UK’s fund managers. A trading update covering the three months to 30 June, the first quarter of Liontrust’s financial year, showed net outflows hit £900m over the period, down from £1.6bn in the same quarter last year. In a statement accompanying the update, Ions said that last week’s election result offered hope of stability. ‘Labour’s large majority in last week’s general election should herald a period of stability that will be positive for financial markets,’ he said. ‘It is encouraging that the new government has a pro-growth agenda and is committed to the simplification of pensions.’

Like many asset managers, Liontrust has faced challenges in recent years as high interest rates and inflation have roiled stock markets and hit demand for actively managed funds. A specialism in UK equities (a sector that has seen significant outflows) has also hurt Liontrust, manager of Edinburgh (EDIN) investment trust, while a failed bid for GAM hurt full-year profits in the most recent financial results. According to Morningstar data, Liontrust shares have lost investors more than 55% over the past three years to the end of June.

However, Ions said Labour’s push for stability and growth under chancellor Rachel Reeves, as well as a need to encourage investors to save more in their pensions, would help the asset manager going forward. ‘Along with falling inflation and the expectation of a reduction in interest rates, this should encourage international investors to return to the UK and boost capital flows to the stock market,’ Ions said. ‘Given the ever-increasing need for individuals to save more for their retirement as well, this will significantly improve the outlook for asset managers.’

I assume that’s a reference to me. Please could you explain to a thick Yorkshire man

[growthpotential] 13/7/2024 19:50

Castle Ford has been owned on lots of shares

[yump] 13/7/2024 08:15

Are their funds mainly for pi’s ?

[davethehorse] 12/7/2024 19:07

Still think we will see 700p plus by end of this month here

[mister md] 12/7/2024 14:11

72p dividend divided by 656p shareprice = 11 % dividend yield, incase anyone was wondering ;-)

[davethehorse] 12/7/2024 14:01

Keep holding and adding as it rises when possible....;-)
