Milkwood blocked Downing from selling their RFX holding in their Micro Fund; and rather bizarrely Downing are now adding RFX to their new IHT fund...
Looks like there is another seller somewhere...probably forced due to private investors withdrawing monies from a fund.
Crazy, with AIM stocks being massively undervalued, and RFX being one of the most solid stocks out there. Any sensible PI would be filling their boots at this level!

https://masterinvestor.co.uk/equities/small-cap-catch-up-aml-cury-rfx-and-fnx/Ramsdens Holdings (LON:RFX) – Confidence InspiringA good positive AGM Trading Update was given on Monday by this FX, pawnbroking, precious metals and jewellery specialist.The Middlesbrough-based group, which has 167 stores across the country, informed investors that its trading for the first five months of the current year had remained strong and up to expectations.Having recently secured a new £15m revolving credit facility with the Bank of Scotland, the group's Board remains highly confident in its continued growth prospects and its expectations for the current financial year.Analysts James Allen and Nick Anderson at Liberum Capital have a Buy rating on the group's shares, looking for 290p in due course.For the year to end September 2024 they estimate £89m (£84m) of sales, generating £10.5m (£10.1m) profits, earnings of 24.0p (24.0p) easily covering a dividend of 11.0p (10.4p) per share.The analysts are looking forward to the £60m valued group declaring its next Trading Update in April.The shares, which closed at 190p, offer very strong upside potential for medium-term investors

Spotted something interesting about Downing Funds:
On the one hand they are closing down their Strategic Micro Cap Investment trust fund which included a declared 9.99% holding in RFX, but on the other hand they are inviting private investors to put funds into their AIM Estate Planning Service ISA in readiness for the new tax year.

And yes, you've guessed it, this includes putting money back into RFX! One of the shares featured in their on line prospectus.

I guess having sold off and driven down the share price of RFX over months to return capital to their old investors, they will then build a new holding in RFX pushing the share price back up for their new investors!!

If I'm correct, its crazy stuff..

I don't think ST realises that Downing are selling "piecemeal" into any private investor buys, rather than in a block to another institutional investor.

By the way our friendly fund has just dropped another 32,871 block at 171.55p..

It just seems never ending!

As an aside, when does a Fund have to notify the market via RNS, that they have reduced their holding or sold it all?

I thought normally Funds shows a gradual reduction in holdings using a number of RNS's - unless they sell all their holding in 1 block?

BaseM1 - RFX has never been rated a "growth stock", although it has grown (revenue up 27% in last year) and will continue to grow, albeit slightly slower!

The key metrics here are:

Market Capex at £1.80 = £56.97m
Net cash = £5.039m
Pre tax profit = £10.1m
Dividend = 10.1p (5.6% yield)

So if you were wealthy enough, you could buy this business, and it would pay for itself in about 5 years!!!!

A screaming bargain - we just need to wait for the 2 funds who are selling / closing to clear their positions and share price will rise again. Unfortunately many Private Investors have sold their positions at rock bottom prices, due to fear that there is something amiss.

The only risks here in my opinion are
a) People no longer buying high end watches (we've seen this with WOSG), but we know people bought cheaper watches / jewellery instead.
b) Higher energy costs (not coming down) and higher minimum wages - both recognised by the Board in their RNS updates.
c) Gold price dropping if conflict in Gaza / Ukraine cease, hopefully.

Against that there are loads of positives
a) Demand for pawnbrokers
b) RFX have added more shops including in S East and moved to better parts of towns when leases came up for renewal, for better footfall.
c) More people travelling abroad should increase demand for FX
d) No debt, profitable business with good dividend. I see this as the type of business that small investors will pile back into when the BoE drop base rate and banks / buildings societies drop savings account rates.

The Chancellor will address this in the Spring budget (6 March)in my view. He's got to fire up London again to stop firms being listed elsewhere and to restart IPOs that generate income for Bank, brokers, lawyers etc. We know the huge tax and wealth generated by the City for the UK economy, compared to the rest of the UK.

I'm expecting either a cut on the stamp duty to buy shares to zero; and / or a "UK listed company ISA" that either allows you to put more in than £20K a year. This will get private investors putting money back into UK and AIM.

He alternatively may cut the allowance for ISAs invested in firms listed outside London; lets face it why are we giving tax breaks for investors, investing away from the UK?

Absolutely 100% agree riverman - Same thing happened at MEGP, with Fidelity selling off their MEGP shares and driving down the share price 35%. Then results are published (exactly as per trading update and guidance a couple of months ago) and the share price lifts 20% in a day and everyone wants to buy in!

The reality is that there are few private investors buying AIM at the moment, either haven't got cash; putting money into building societies paying 5% interest or just scared about UK economic climate.

And that pretty sad really, as there are loads of absolute bargains to be found; great small companies producing record results, but unloved by the general public.

Of course, once it becomes clear that the UK economy is growing again and the funds start to buy again, joe public will also get involved - but by then the bargains will have gone..

Possible but very much doubt it - don't assume the market knows everything and that every move has a rational explanation - certainly not in the UK small cap space. Far more likely it's due to a combination of forced selling from funds and panic selling from clueless private investors, and not enough buyers able to mop it up. The fact is there are very few natural buyers of UK small caps in the current environment.

Simon Thomson, Investors' Chronicle, just now...
"It means that Ramsdens’ shares are rated on a lowly price/earnings (PE) ratio of 8.5, offer a prospective dividend yield of 5.4 per cent and trade on 1.3 times book value despite boasting a heavily asset-rich balance sheet. That’s a low rating for a company that has just delivered a post-tax return on equity of 17 per cent. It’s worth flagging that Ramsdens is forecast to deliver growth even after absorbing the 10 per cent increase in the national living wage in May 2024 and £0.4mn higher energy costs this year, a reflection of the strength in its underlying businesses."
