Good news from today’s rns

“Focus on narrowing the share price discount to NAV, without compromising Molten's ability to invest. The Board recognises the continued wide discount to asset value at which the Company is trading and is therefore committing an additional £15m to the ongoing £5m share repurchase programme. This goes significantly beyond the 10% of realisation proceeds outlined in our Capital Allocation Policy, doubling the £15m already committed. The Board expects, if the discount to net asset value persists, to commit further capital to the investment opportunity that buying back shares at such wide discounts represents.”

Thanks river

Always puzzled me as to the adds and subtractions of BlackRock. Seemed random not strategic. Some form of automated balancing makes sense. Not GROW specific. Adds to volatility though.

Blackrock trims every once in a while. Grow adds about 40,000 shares a day. Causes a bit of a tug o war.

The CNBC report is referring to the valuation based on the last equity funding round. GROW appear to have been more prudent and used a much lower valuation - obviously a good thing.

30% above book value - and remember that GROW is on a 50% discount which means it is being realised 1.6x above the implied market value. Rather counters some of the posts on here which claim the NAV is fictitous and GROW is actually trading in line with its true NAV!

Volatility certainly undermines for retail investors like me viewing GROW as a stable repository of value like an index that is long term high growth -so long as it is held long term. Manageable risk for what should in theory be a high (if not the highest) growth sector. A good share for the retirement pot so long as one does not need to draw down in the short term. I’m over concentrated but that is against advice and theory.

I remain a GROW fan but patience being tested on our slow recovery from 2022 dip. I still believe we will go up sharply over the next 3 years back to our peak share price at 11.82 and beyond. There has been only modest dilution and the portfolio has few write offs and I don’t think the valuations in 2021/2022 were wild never to be achieved again. retail wrapper over a normally illiquid base that only ever had hard price points every 2 or 3 years on funding rounds. So lots of room for sentiment to swing this up or down. Right now down. My strategic reasons for my hold are below:

1) Long run our share price is on average NAV/share. It only dips on stressed conditions and is higher in good conditions (lagging valuation discovery and difficulty in retail obtaining asset base in any other way). We have a 100% uplift coming based on this factor alone. I suspect this gap will close as soon as we start making profit again -which might be as soon as year end results.

2) EU/UK sector at historically low multiples of sales. Pitchbook predict this will start to change and with that all our valuations will go up with the sector even without last round or IPO hard cash discovery. Ditto for our seed funds which have not gone up for 2.5 years.

3) Gap between US and EU multiples and valuations will over time close. Irrational and long run arbitrage will eliminate it. Profit is profit regardless of the position of the Atlantic ocean.

4) BIg tech giant profits will get recycled up the sector development pipeline.

5) Dry powder will deploy into the sector as interest rates drop.

6) OUr portfolio average sales growth of 50% per annum will drive increasing valuations. We have zero portfolio companies in immanent trouble as well -a historically low %.

Just to note that their biggest holding Revolut makes up only 10% of the fund, followed by a few others which make up around 7-8%. Barring a complete sudden write off of one of these larger positions I can see nothing to justify an intra day 7% drop in share price.

@Foetus in your brain, Yes, this was absolutely the case earlier this year when you could simply buy the smaller company indexes. However, now you need to stock pick in public markets, which is something very few private investors can do. I managed to grab ALPH earlier in the year and still think it's the pick of the FTSE 250 financial sector. It has growth and a price-to-earnings ratio of about 15 if we normalise net treasury income into the future. However, more broadly most fundamentals are now reflected in the price, and stocks need to deliver on earnings growth. This is why trusts and company discounts to net asset value (NAV) can add known value instead of speculative value (stock picking is based on one's bias and opinions).

Good to see recovery... I note a load of people wanting in cheap showed up on LSE to battle Steph. Hope he's OK over there. Stock is now recovering from the attack.

I estimate the buyback could be worth in the region of 5.4p per share, depending on share price action and timing.

The cash on the balance sheet is not particularly unwieldy compared to the investment portfolio value. By comparison, Pantheon International is just over twice the market cap but it's buyback of £200M was twenty times bigger than the one just started by GROW.

Meanwhile GROW has over £70M of realisations coming through (Graphcore, Perkbox, Endomag).

Last December, £57M was raised in share issuance at 270p per share (to acquire Forward Partners at a 7% discount vs GROWs 63% discount at the time), and now some of those shares are being bought back at around 367p.

I suspect this £10M buyback just a gimmick to stir the market and might not be fundamentally worthwhile. Also wondering whether a dividend would have been better, or just maintained as dry powder earning interest. ..?
