The Citywire pitch by George Ensor was IMO a good listen, in economics and Micro-caps in general. He mentioned the on ongoing RMMC spread issue.

Yes, RMMC is tarred by other small ITs and the wide buy/sell spread. Good to see movement today

Thank you, westcountryboy.

Excuse my ignorance, but could the company not pay investors a 'special dividend' of some sort rather than cancel shares?
Surely, that would be more accretive for shareholders - a nice payout and still the same number of shares held...



I know I can't moan about the deal I signed up to, but still this is not nice reading:

"To the extent that any redemption takes place at a time when the Ordinary
Shares are trading at a significant premium to the prevailing unaudited NAV, Shareholders may receive an amount in respect of their redeemed Ordinary Shares that is materially below the market value of those shares prior to redemption."

The shares are redeemed at the stated price so you are deemed to have sold them at that price and obviously you then have fewer shares. What the share price subsequently does is up to the market. The share price has been depressed recently for other reasons, to do with the forced change of management - perhaps unreasonably (I think so anyway). In the recent past RMMC traded at a premium to NAV which was probably also unreasonable. In general I think a discount of 5-10% to NAV is the most likely share price outcome going forward, assuming the market gets more comfortable with the new management's performance.

Shock as highly respected small cap fund manager is pushed out
Experts now believe several River & Mercantile funds could see big outflows

SHARES IN investment trust River & Mercantile UK Micro Cap (RMMC)
have started to recover after falling nearly 20% in the days after fund
manager Philip Rodrigs was pushed out (7 Feb). Reports suggest conduct issues
relating to Rodrigs were unearthed
after more stringent systems
and controls were drafted in by
asset manager
River & Mercantile
(RIV)
following an ongoing FCA
competition investigation involving
R&M and other investment
managers relating to IPO
price fixing.
River & Mercantile said Rodrigs
had left the business ‘following an
investigation into a professional
conduct issue’ although it
clarified the conduct issue was
unrelated to his portfolio manager
responsibilities.
Rodrigs was also manager
of open-ended funds
River &
Mercantile UK Smaller Companies
(GB00BC4DSV56)
and
R&M UK
Dynamic Equity (GB00B7H1R583)
,
which have subsequently seen
an estimated £43m of outflows
according to calculations by
stockbroker Numis on 12 February.
Numis forecasts £650m of net
outflows by mid-2018 in these two
funds, accounting for just over
half of the combined assets under
management (£1.2bn) before
the news.
Stockbroker AJ Bell has removed
River & Mercantile UK Smaller
Companies from its ‘favourite funds’
list on the grounds that Rodrigs was
considered to be a vital part of the
fund’s investment process.
His departure has led to the fund
being replaced by
Franklin UK Mid
Cap (GB00B8K8HH50)
on AJ Bell’s
preferred funds list. (JC

SEC was similar when it lost its manager. From now RMMC should show whether its record was down to Rodrigs stockpicking or R&Ms propriety approach.

Unless there is a discount control mechanism in place which seeks to fix the discount at a particular level, discounts & premiums are entirely driven by the demand for the share. Investment trusts typically trade at a discount to nav, but there are a few, such as RMMC until yesterday, that trade on a premium. This is usually due to high level of confidence in the manager and strong performance. The concern here is that the market may no longer attach a premium to the shares until the new manager proves himself. Discounts of 10-15% are not uncommon in the small cap space. I reckon RMMC is now on a 10% discount, but I wouldn't necessarily consider this bargain territory relative to other small cap funds. Given all this I wouldn't be surprised to see this drift to a 15% discount in the near term.

River and Mercantile has sacked fund manager Philip Rodrigs for a 'personal conduct' issue unrelated to his funds. George Sensor to take over UK Micro Cap trust (RMMC). Today's rebound in the shares halted.

I bought in last May as a punt as I like the portfolio but no dividend. TAP PRSM
Didn't expect this sort of rise.

Hi henry that is interesting. Which funds did you use? In the smaller company space I use investment trusts and then hold individual positions where the investment trusts already own the stocks (dd) and I particularly like the story. RMMC really does offer something different in the investment trust space.
