Hmm see what you mean they do seem to be at some discount to NAV but its not easily verifiable and I guess the spread reflects the risk element.

Praipus,

A 20p spread and no liquidity means they are both non-starters!

The trust is in the process of restructuring it's portfolio, and in particular to sell down some of it's large legacy holdings, with re-investments being directed to later-stage, income-producing, growth companies.

The managers announced in the May 31st report that they had seen interest in a number of portfolio companies. They do however point out that in some of the legacy holdings, interest is at a level below their carried valuation.

In it's interim statement released yesterday, it was announced that the 4th largest holding in the portfolio (7% of NAV) had been sold at above book value.

The Board is reviewing the possibility of an enhanced buy-back scheme which could enable shareholders to sell some of their shares and reinvest in new shares issued by the company.

There has been a persistent buyer for the last couple of months, and the shares have made steady progress. If further sales of legacy holdings can be made at levels relatively close to the carried value, I think we could see a further re-rating.

Hi tiltonboy, thanks. Ortus VCT ORT 53% discount! Chart added to post 2 link in header. Any plans to narrow the discount or explosive growth hidden in the portfolio you can tell us about?

Excellent idea to start a thread. I have mentioned it elsewhere, but Ortus VCT has attractions, and would ask if you could add to the header.

AATG "Reduction in share capital and cancellation of capital redemption and share premium reserves"

Not quite sure of the signifcance of this but they trade at a 22% discount!

How can you tell which VCT's are likely to offer a share buy back facility?

I've read that most businesses fail in their first two years in the UK and only 35%last five years or more in the USA.

How many VCT's should you have in your portfolio to counter this and make a profit?

I bought a few VCT in early Jan at 1125P not knowing a lot about them. They have been very strong since then but I am not clear why.
I can't see anything newsy but 250p rise in less than 4 weeks looks significant.
Not that I am complaining and I see they are still below record highs but anything going on?
I bet the Yanks would love to buy it.Profit margins are massive

First posting on this blog for two and a half years. A great company, operating margins in excess of 30%, excellent returns on capital, cash generative.

It has the hallmark of excellence yet no discernable interest from PI. Now if VCT were losing money and had only a single product under development which might come to market in a decade or so it would be a different matter. We would have postings galore!

Operational gearing on VCT is nearer 3:1 than unity.

This is an excellent statement & should give us a good kick up in the next few dyas.

Well they say sales are up 22% - that means another £20m - so already on course to do £210m+ sales this year if therre were no sales growth in H2 !

Brokers are only forecasting £212m sales - looks like VCT are near 10% ahead of forecasts on the sales side, should mean way more than 10% ahead on profits forecasts if this keeps up, imo.

Breaking out here today - trading update Thurs:

If trading is as strong as they say and margins as H2 last year (well above H1 an therefore above the vwhole year too) then they must be doing well imo.

Trading update this Thurs.

From Friday:

626 GMT [Dow Jones] Goldman Sachs starts coverage of Croda International (CRDA.LN) and Victrex (VCT.LN), at neutral and buy with 2000p and 1830p price targets respectively. Notes both companies produce specialized products and operate in niche, high-growth markets with barriers to entry. "This combination of strong structural positioning and earnings growth merits a premium valuation," says Goldman. Adds Victrex has the strongest industry positioning, highest returns and best profitability in the sector and offers 36% upside potential. Croda shares closed at 1678p Thursday, Victrex at 1350p.
