Posted at 15/5/2025 07:48 by hugepants You're not wrong there spec. SYNC is another one. Id say the difference with SBO is that, ironically, 30% of the portfolio is not PE. And it has a limited life. It will be wound up in the next 2-3 years. It just needs a single vote to trigger this. |
Posted at 15/5/2025 07:42 by spectoacc Your problem is that "real" PE are on similar discounts - large, liquid ones, with multi-year track records. Why buy SBO over say PIN, HVPE, or OCI? |
Posted at 14/4/2025 19:45 by hugepants I've picked some of these at the 61p/62p mark. This trust is really off the radar though. About 70% of the NAV is investments in private companies but they look to be pretty big companies eg. CERA valued at over a billion.Last NAV was 110p so the discount is 43%. A bit more if you strip out the cash which is about 3.5p (that's per share not the total). Agree with the previous post. It's completely loopy to sell the public stuff and concentrate on private investment. They should be doing the opposite if anything. |
Posted at 21/6/2024 16:44 by bmcollins I have to say I am somewhat bemused by comments like "value will out but when", standing on a 30% discount and a continuation vote in May 2028 value will out, & 47 months is not, in the great scheme of things, very long to erase the 30% discount, especially as the bids every week that we are seeeing for micro caps is surely a signal that sentiment has turned.In addition, anyone seeing the exit prices that SBO have achieved against book valuations clearly show that SBO's unquoteds are valued conservatively. |
Posted at 04/12/2023 16:40 by spectoacc The bubble isn't over until Bitcoin goes.And the US big 7. SBO may as well just say "We get paid handsomely whether you make any money or not. Meanwhile, we're going to punt some more unlisted unicorns at the top of the market.". Rates aren't being cut before 2025 IMO. Why would they be? Possibly if the long-predicted (by me!) bad recession happens, but that doesn't help SBO's punts either. But agree value will out eventually - guess I just don't see value at SBO. |
Posted at 04/12/2023 16:35 by jonwig Just seven US shares are driving the discrepancy. All the UK trusts are making the same point, some with buybacks. Yields (though not here in SBO) are providing some cushion. I believe value will out, but have no idea when. |
Posted at 04/12/2023 14:53 by sphere25 "The world is an uncertain place as I write, and equity markets may well remain out of favour for the next few months. High interest rates and uncertainty over future rates have continued to be a major negative factor affecting investment companies that focus on growth. The assumption is that these companies will need cash to fund that growth and that will be expensive and/or difficult to get. Unfortunately, the market is not differentiating between those companies with genuine issues in this regard and those that have no such needs, as is the case with the vast bulk of our investments.One result of this is that the price at which our shares are trading continues to significantly undervalue the Company as it does not reflect the strong fundamentals of our portfolio. History suggests that within listed UK equities, small and medium sized growth companies are often the first to suffer in a bear market but also first to rerate on signs of recovery and a change in market sentiment. A reduction in interest rates may well be the trigger for this. UK inflation appears to have peaked, and some commentators are predicting a base rate reduction as early as Q2 2024. At the time of writing, we are experiencing some improvement in the share prices of our public investments. This has generated a post period end NAV increase of 4.7%. Your Board expects that the patient shareholder will benefit when market sentiment changes and the value and quality of the underlying portfolio becomes appreciated." Yes, some improvement in the share prices, but not enough. The rally in the US is spreading into the smaller caps - the IWM is making bullish moves. How about some of that over here in our small caps? Even that BitCoin malarkey thinga ma wotsit is rallying. You know it is risk on when that rallies like this. Can we have some more bullish here pleaseeeeeee! All imo DYOR |
Posted at 11/4/2023 08:22 by cc2014 Thanks for #127So, everything has it's price but what I conclude is that there is no way for me to work out what the NAV really is and therefore how am I supposed to take a punt I guess what I can also work out is that there's a crazy amount of tech investment out there relying on follow-on funding which just isn't going to happen |
Posted at 09/4/2023 17:18 by spectoacc SB-Oh.Front page of Sunday Times Business: "Blow to British tech unicorn as backer writes off stake". "The heavyweight investor that backed Apple and Google in their early years has written off the entire value of its stake in one of Britain's most promising technology start-ups". Keep reading and you find out that zero is Graphcore.. There's some real nuggets: "Graphcore ended 2021 with $140m of cash, and a further $187m in short-term investments. However, it lost $185m that year on revenues of only $5m...." SBO holders, this is the sort of sh*t Roger, Ben, and Tim have been punting your money into. Graphcore topped out at a £3.4bn valuation, on $5m of revenues, and Sequoia Capital now value it at zero. Nada. Nothing. "BG's Schiehallion fund has cut its valuation of Graphcore from $3.4bn to $1.7bn and SBO has cut its valuation [of Graphcore] by 25% in its latest revaluation." Most incubators, VCs, PEs are chicken sh*t. They invest at increasingly crazy valuations, boosting their previous investment valuation in the same co's, until it all comes crashing down (assuming they haven't punted investments to each other first). Yet when it does start to fail, it's finger-in-air bullsh*t. BG think Graphcore's fallen from $3.4bn to - gasp - $1.7bn, exactly halved, implying no genuine calculation whatsoever. Sequoia can see that $185m losses on $5m revenues in 2021 means all the money's gone by, um, about now, so Graphcore will need to raise ASAP. But from whom? Not Sequoia. Not poxy, tiny SBO. Not BG, who went all-in on unlisteds in the boom. Not from SVB bank borrowings. SBO cut the valuation by 25%, BG by 50%, Sequoia by 100% - who's right? No prizes for guessing who I think is right, but clearly if more cash (then some more, and some more) is needed, billions isn't a correct valuation. Doesn't this apply to most of the investments in early-stage but later-round rubbish? The bubble is over, the winners will be the few with profits (any?), and the few with cash to pull investments through the post-SVB, post-bubble world. The same happened in 99/00, most went to zero. At least the lamentable SUPP has been through it (some of it!) already, hence 12p from £1 listing, 8 years ago now. How long is "Patient"? Rant over. Link to SBO's Graphcore RNS, when they invested at a $2.8bn valuation: Just a week ago, threat to move to US, begging letter to Rishi to use some of their chips - Sequoia's write-down post-dates this: |
Posted at 24/2/2023 07:58 by jonwig Schroder British Opportunities Trust plc ("SBO" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm that one of its private equity investments, Mintec, the leading global provider of price data, analytics and forecasts for agri-food, has announced the acquisition of AgriBriefing, to establish the largest agri-food-focused price reporting agency (PRA) and global information provider.Good news, I guess, but what we really want is SBO's private investments to be taken out at a huge premium! |
