Absolutely, money is flowing into US-listed equities, and there is always a risk of lag when buying a unloved European company with a seller(s), despite the fact that the assets in the trusts are 77% US-focused. The key is to hold US-listed companies and take profits into NBPE. Having been through many cycles, I believe that if US stocks rise, this will be reflected in NAV growth here. There is the risk you miss out on gains today, but tomorrow you could compound those US stocks with NBPE returns!

This contrarian strategy also protects the downside (NBPE is already down on the year) but one must be non-emotional to FOMO across the pond and think of the long run.

I had hoped the share price would have shown some decent move upward in light of US stocks having the Trump boost. Small US company funds and trusts have moved but NBPE still trading in a narrow range. Break out does seem to be forthcoming.

the same update and rehashed again by kepler whie the share price has not moved up for a long time

[speedsgh] 29/5/2024 09:33

Kepler's (paid for) view:

"With realisation activity having increased in H2 2023, NBPE has stepped up the pace of investment in 2024. NBPE has a number of competing options for its cash, including the Dividend, buybacks, or funding investments. Any option must further consider the maturity of the 2024 ZDPs in October, which the board have announced their intention to repay. As we discuss in the Gearing section, NBPE has a strong balance sheet which gives the managers and board plenty of flexibility to be opportunistic.

In our view, as we discuss in the Discount section, buybacks will continue to be opportunistic and tactical, and the dividend will remain the main way capital will be returned to shareholders. We think the board’s three pillars make sense over the longer term. Absent an aggressive buyback programme, lower interest rates, growth in the underlying private equity companies, and higher realisation activity may be catalysts for the discount to narrow.

Whilst realisation activity is arguably the most visible value driver for private equity portfolios, it is very far from being the only driver. As we discuss in the Portfolio section, private equity managers have plenty of other levers at their disposal to drive value creation within portfolios. NBPE’s underlying companies continue to deliver strong growth and are increasingly mature. This means that if interest rates start to fall, precipitating a rebound in deal activity, NBPE should be in a strong position to capitalise. Investors who are taking a long-term view may see the current discount to NAV as a potentially attractive entry point."

From the Kepler note:

"With almost 50% of the portfolio being pre-2020 investments, the ‘harvesting stage’ is getting closer."

Any chartists following this? I'm no expert but it looks like the share price has traded within a symmetrical triangle since start 2022 so there's going to have to be a break out from the triangle either way in the near future. Any there any other indicators suggesting which way it might break?

[speedsgh] 24/4/2024 21:23

Sorry @ali47 - you'll have to read yourself and come to your own conclusions. NBPE is on my watchlist but too much going on at the moment to look at the results in any detail.
