The only fees are 0.5% stamp duty & - depending on which platform you use - a relatively small commission.

These can very easily be recouped - and some - if you occasionally decide to trade SMT. I know because I’ve done it several times!

Whilst I do view SMT as a long term holding I do still buy and sell fairly frequently. I've been using it almost as a holding fund for the past year, selling some when an opportunity arises elsewhere and buying to top up when it falls. It's a strange one for me because I don't chart it as I do other stocks, yet buy on the gap fills. 990, 972, 959 lately with 922 to come. Clearly these buys don't look great at this point and it's possible my funds and enthusiasm for the stock could run done before the bounce. Still better to be in than out though when the next big thing rockets. Excuse the pun

If I was not so underweight tech, I would have waited longer before buying back, in the hope of a lower price. I don't want to be out of SMT if and when the market snaps back.

As It is, I am a long term holder of SMT, the market is volatile, and I was happy to take the opportunity to knock a few per cent off my capital invested while maintaining the size of the holding. It is the third time I have done it since starting the position a year or so back. Even a small return on the round trip adds up if repeated a few times. My return is significantly better than if I had simply held through the spikes and dips.

arja - SMT has consistently traded at a discount to NAV for the past three and a half years.

Whilst this can be a good thing, allowing buyers to accumulate below asset value, there’s no guarantee the discount won’t subsequently widen rather than narrow.

Too great a discount can also lead to speculative hedge funds (like Elliott or Saba) swooping in to shake things up.

In the case of Elliott, this has been positive for SMT, encouraging its fund managers to go on an aggressive buy back scheme which helped narrow the discount. But it isn’t always beneficial. The hedgies are only interested in short term gains, which often come at the expense of longer term performance.

You can almost always select a period "proving" one fund has underperformed another.

Similarly, you can point to SMT outperforming both ATT and PCT over the past 6 & 12 months. I agree though that Moderna has been a major drag on SMT's share price since 2021. SpaceX - amongst other holdings - might just be the antidote. Even if one or two of them are run by nut jobs.

In the two years after autumn 2021,SMT fell approaching 60% and while the stock has done some catching up since,it has still significantly underperformed ATT and PCT in recent years.The unfortunate decision to dive headfirst into Moderna (at one point the funds largest holding at ten per cent) was responsible for a good proportion of the relative underperformance.However,the price collapse means Moderna is pretty immaterial to SMTs performance now,hey it might even recover.

Agree bought smt and ATt at the same time in 2022. Today ATt up 36% smt down 15%. Smt has recovered a lot from where they were but still need to go before I get my money back.

Interesting comparison QP.The discount to assets for both ATT and Polar Capital remains around the 10%.As we all know,both Moderna and Northvolt have been the obvious handbrake on a more pronounced SMT price recovery this year.As much as one would like to believe that it'll all come right in time,its clear that sometimes SMT's more adventurous investments simply fall on very stony ground and that's implicit in the very nature of the fund ie Tesla was an inspired choice but others are not.When you have such a sizeable private company portfoilio,it makes you wander what else SMT has tucked away in that locker and it makes SMT enjoying a nil discount to assets (like BGUSA) unlikely.

I would not consider ATT/PCT as alternatives to SMT. While ATT and PCT focus mainly on tech (88% and 74% in the US, respectively), SMT offers broader global exposure with only 40% in the US. This diversification makes both ATT/PCT and SMT suitable within a well-balanced portfolio. Furthermore, as interest rates decline, I believe SMT's unlisted equities, which make up a good portion of its holdings, may offer greater potential for growth and realization, especially in a less restrictive financial environment.

“SMT, is a really good trust, it’s in the right areas for long term growth. It could be a bumpy road ahead, but for long term investors it’s a hold.”


A hold for many because they’re reluctant to realise a loss.You don’t have to buy SMT to get exposure to the likes of Nvidia.A better proxy would be Allianz Tech or Polar Capital Tech.Neither do these trusts have the rather controversial sizeable exposure to private companies where you have to take SMT valuations on trust.Its the Moderna holding that interests me.Does SMT ever admit its screwed up a holding or does it just kick the can down the road with declarations that is investing for the long term.Very laudable except investment is about opportunity cost and in the last few years SMT has lost its premier status,frequenting the lower quartiles of investment trust performers.
