Annual financial report



"Over the last five years Smithson is the best performing trust in the AICs Global Smaller Companies sector"

"We end this year with significant optimism for the future. Not only is portfolio positioning the best we believe it has ever been, but the subject of much of my commentary over the last couple of years, the interest rate cycle, is almost certainly at its peak. The upward movement in interest rates has been the strongest negative force against the relative performance of small and mid-cap equities and it is perhaps worth observing that over the two years since rates started increasing, the MSCI World Small and Mid-cap index has underperformed the MSCI World Large cap index by over 10%. We wait to see what effect falling rates might have."

Investment manager is very pleased with where things stand



"It has been a busy 12 months, taking advantage of low prices during the weak market to improve and diversify the portfolio. After these actions, we are unashamedly enthusiastic about what we now own. The portfolio is without doubt in the best shape it has been since inception and I am excited to share the changes with you"

Is SSON Turing in to another FEET..
Posted at 25/8/2023 15:13 by cruelladeville
I'm not holding my breath though. I'm not sure the outlook for mid cap stocks is especially good given economic outlook across the world. If growth is hard to come by over the next decade, lack of decent dividend at SSON is a drag for sure.

Yes there's been regular share buy backs recently. Smithson share price remains awful.

Yes, I think you're pretty much on the ball there. Obviously Smith gave up on FEET. I have been wondering how long it'll be before Smithson goes the same way. With well over £20 billion invested just in Fundsmith, I imagine SSON to be hardly worth the bother for them.

Sadly, I sold half my Fundsmith that I had bought at launch to buy SSON IPO. Though the first couple of years at SSON were shoot the lights out stuff, I'd actually have been better off not bothering and just held on to Fundsmith.It seems to me that the Smith method works extremely well on large cap stocks. But has failed on mid cap and emerging market stocks. (FEET has been wound up, I think there's a case for winding up Smithson too).I reckon that's one success and two failures for Smith.

Held SSON since IPO and seemingly made a huge mistake not selling out at 2000p. I am very close to giving up on Smithson. I have a sell order in at AJB to sell as soon as it gets back to 1400p. Anyone else?

I hear you, but it's the share price we need to be most interested in. That's what we buy and sell at. Today at SSON website, it shows share price decline more than 41% year to date. That's a dreadful outcome for what's supposed to be a portfolio of the highest quality companies.I can do nothing now except sit and wait. I used to think SSON was a hold forever share. I am not at all sure about that any more.Of passing interest, my Fundsmith shares have been far less volatile this year. Even Blue Whale Growth Fund, a pretty high octane investment, hasn't suffered like Smithson has.

Yes the SSON share price got clobbered, along with the global markets in general. This is down to general panic and hysteria over the coronavirus of course. Some might argue that some stocks were getting a 'bit toppy' too so maybe some form of correction was due at some point. I'm not sure about that.

I hold six investment trusts in my SIPP, including SSON and they all took a severe bashing last week.

In just one week the average drop was 17%, which is quite a bit higher than the global markets dropped in the last week. Not sure I understand why ITs suffered worse (other than travel related stocks) compared to other stocks and indices..

Anyway, here's the drop I observed on the 6 trusts mentioned above, in the last 5 market days only -

18.95% ATT - Allianz Technology Trust
18.28% THRG - BlackRock Throgmorton Trust
18.85% MNL - Manchester & London Inv Trust
14.86% PCT - Polar Capital Trust
13.69% SMT - Scottish Mortgage Trust
17.39% SSON - Smithson Inv Trust

NB the average 5 day drop across these 6 IT's is: 17% - quite shocking really!
