So, suddenly we have Ironsides holding 8%; who?

"Ironsides manages the Ironsides Partners Opportunity Fund and an account for a multi-billion dollar hedge fund based in New York City. Robert Knapp, the managing director of Ironsides, is a director of the Africa Opportunity Fund Limited (LSE AIM: AOF) and its investment manager. Mr. Knapp is also the lead independent director of MVC Capital, Inc. (NYSE: MVC) and a director of the Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund Limited (LSE AIM: PAX). Ironsides also invests its own capital in strategic opportunities via Ironsides Holdings LLC and Ironsides Energy LLC."

"Mr. Knapp is an asset value investor employing arbitrage, distressed opportunities and special situation strategies with a focus on closed end funds, holding companies and corporate restructurings... He previously served as a director of the Vietnam Opportunity Fund (LSE AIM: VOF)."

Possibility of some action, soon?

Standard Life & Weiss holding almost a third of the Co. They obviously see value here; not surprising really, as NAV is almost double the share price & the Co's strategy is to "sell the property assets and return capital to investors"

I've got confusing info on QVT but they still appear on the SAPO website as holding 28.9% with Weiss's 22.5% they have control if they want it.

Shareholders oust management and sell assets - return money to shareholders - probable 30% p.a. return.

There are few property companies that have
delivered asset value growth over the last
three years. Those that have been almost
exclusively exposed to emerging markets
and have been rewarded for this excellent
outperformance with a substantial share
price falls. Developed market property, long
perceived as being safer, have experienced
substantial asset value falls and share price
outperformance. This is quite perverse.
However, this does present opportunities for
investors that can take advantage of these
anomalies.

We have built up a position in
South African Property Opportunities
alongside a number of like minded investors
at discounts in excess of 60%.
Shareholders have forced change on the fund
over the last year with the original directors
being removed, the managers changed and a
strategic review implemented. The result of
this review was announced last month and
provides further clarity for the future of the
fund. The portfolio has been divided into two
with part to be realised in an orderly fashion
over the next two years and the remainder
being retained for further additional
development prior to disposal over the next
three years.


These sales will allow for a phased return of
capital to investors. The method of return -
share buy backs, cash distributions or
tenders - have yet to be decided. Assuming
it takes the full three years to complete and
only realising the current asset value, this
would generate a 30% per annum return
using the current share price. To date, there
has been a modest discount narrowing which
should accelerate.
