Thought asset value held up well,
Very happy to hold and cherish!

Thought asset value held up well.
If I did not have so many in percentage terms I would squirrel away
More.

Do we own shares in Entremed?

[anley] 01/4/2014 17:04

As you know I always add a few whatever the price when I trade a share that has made a profit.

There is so much hidden value in RCP medium and long term.

That is how I see it................

To those that wait.
Glad to have piled in while selling elsewhere.

[essentialinvestor] 14/3/2014 07:35

May pick up a chunk if markets sell off hard.

[elmfield] 13/3/2014 11:00

Largest part of core spread of risk, bring it on.

[a1samu] 13/3/2014 07:29

NAV @ 28.2.2014 1391p. Nice round number!

[elmfield] 06/3/2014 10:10

If you don't like it sell up,
But remember this is core for any spread of risk.

Oh Jacob how boring? why not pay a seriously meaningful dividend like a couple of quid each time and ratchet up the returns to shareholders.

Of course, unfortunately Jacob is so rich and with his luxury, paid out as expenses to the company already, and he has so many shares, that it does not matter to him what he is paying, whereas to an ordinary small shareholder it is all the difference between serious or just banal money/returns in the short term.

Have to wait a few more days for the NAV @ 28.2.2014.

Core holding.
Does what it says on the tin.
A Star Part of any portfolio, IMV.

[anley] 07/2/2014 14:39

Given reasonable market conditions then I too will look for the £13 level and a good dividend hick to keep the price stable.

[a1samu] 07/2/2014 14:04

Could be heading for the £13+ second time.

Usually third time is the breakthrough.

With finals to be announced early March, and up to date NAV, it might be the time to conquer this level permanently.

[essentialinvestor] 04/2/2014 14:17

I agree this is a great core holding and it should outperform in a weaker
market, you can judge NAV at the next update.

[a1samu] 04/2/2014 12:26

Rothschild does not work like this.

You just simply do not know what deals are on the go in shorting markets etc, after all they are increasing value consistently, even when they get it wrong!

[essentialinvestor] 03/2/2014 15:26

I just had a look at the fact sheet, they appear to have a further 15% in EM's.
The US is the largest exposure as has been mentioned.
All equity markets weak currently in any case.

[anley] 03/2/2014 14:55

Japan = 3%.............

[essentialinvestor] 03/2/2014 13:08

kin, i have just re-read the article which interviewed Ron Tabbouche, Japan
was highlighted as one of his 5 major themes, are you certain of that weighting.

[essentialinvestor] 03/2/2014 12:58

Apologies if my post is incorrect, I had read a couple of recent articles
where Japan was mentioned as one of their core ideas.

[kinbasket] 03/2/2014 10:14

4% Japan isn't exactly overweight ??

And zero Yen exposure

Nearly 40% North America.

[essentialinvestor] 03/2/2014 09:45

a1, I very much doubt today's NAV is near that level, the Nikeii 225 index is
down over 10% YTD, they are overweight Japan.

[a1samu] 03/2/2014 09:06

NAV £13.84 @ 31.12.2013.

Just keeps on increasing. Wonderful money making machine.

If you look in isolation at the last 2 years then yes RCP has been a poor performer. However, presumably we all have at least a dozen or so other investments in our portfolios, and the theory is that in a well diversified portfolio during periods where some investments underperform others will outperform (it's not diversified if they all move up together, and then down together). RCP will no doubt have it's place in bringing something to your portfolios that other shares or funds don't.

The next few years could turn out to be another period of RCP relative outperformance, 2014 has certainly started positively.

[elmfield] 13/1/2014 10:30

An excellent pillar for a balanced portfolio, in my view.
