What this shows is that Oak Bloke does intense numerical analysis (good) but is unable to look adequately behind the numbers in certain circumstances (bad). This is a function of analysing too many shares - far too many - and thereby rendering any specific analysis as random so far as a potential buyer/seller is concerned.

I find this 100% unsurprising when one considers some terrible numeric typos in the VSL analysis, that I pointed out at the time.

His announcement of quitting the VSL "long" has almost no rigour behind it at all.

He did recommend VSL so poo to Oak Bloke once again.

But his article highlights the appalling quality of the fund manger !

I see Oakbloke seems to have given up on VLS.

I sold down my last substantive holding last week, while continuing to hold two others in 3rd party folios where residual capital value versus likely dividend return makes selling out of very questionable value. Either way this has not turned out to be one of my better investments. A shame that they felt compelled to go down this disastrous route of so-called 'capital return' - lols. More like self-inflicted capital destruction. I can only hope that lessons will be learned by other contemplating a similar approach in the context of a large discount to NAV. There are worse things simply receiving a large income!

I think that before tarring a sector with the same brush, punters should look at themselves

VSL was being wound up as they couldn't close the discount. It is now completely obvious why they couldn't close it. It didn't exist. But, there were 100% higher fees from publishing a nice NAV so hardly in the interests of the Victory park to be cautious.

HOME was a dodgy entity from day 1. 20 minutes looking at the Companies House filings and the slew of names that were related caused alarm as did the BOD which had failed previously at another trust.

@riskvreward

You don't seem to have the picture. This is a listed Company, the BoD have statutory duties which they haven't fulfilled and so should be prosecuted as will happen at HOME

The issue at GRID was caused by the BOD exercising its power and appointing a different valuer

The model for many of the renewables was flawed, they needed to issue shares to complete their build out programmes and, not return capital until they had the income. Paying a seriously uncovered "dividend" is a capital return when the company needs that capital. It is a mad thing to do. It is good to see that GSF has reset its divi to match its income......that is sensible.

Winding up these trusts is also mad as it makes them forced sellers and the buyers know that.why buy something for a £1 when you can buy it for 50p?

So, the trusts that have issues have a common thread. An incompetent/lazy BoD. or a BoD that is too close to the management company.


BPCR had a dodgy loan and they reported on that monthly with all the ins and outs, twists and turns. VSL haven't done that. What I exopect to happen is Victory Park will buy in assets from VSL and there will be a remarkable recovery but not for the VSL shareholders.

I sold mine. Took the hit and moved on but even with this loss which rankles deeply, my sector return is still well positive and CVCG outperformed NASDAQ in 2024.

Absolutely NB. I agree totally that illiquid investments will usually be realised below NAV but this has been extreme at VSL.

If the investments were of good quality, you’d think(especially given the yield they were generating) that some other fund would snap them up. I half expected VPC themselves to buy the entire VSL portfolio when the wind-up was announced.

Clearly the assets of VSL are not particularly attractive.

Of course, trying to wind up a high yielding portfolio during a market backdrop of high risk-free interest rates is never going to help NAV’s.

Are the VSL shareholders best interests being sufficiently looked after by the existing board or is VSL now just an inconvenience for VPC?
Posted at 20/12/2024 14:34 by chucko1
The 1.89p was wrong from almost the outset. VSL have made it clear that they are lowering the divi as the portfolio reduces. What is worse is that they have reduced it NOT JUST because of that, but because of the otherwise declining income.

1.34p is the current amount (paid yesterday).

I do not mind at all the fact that since commencement of wind down, this has been a fiasco as such a state of affairs offers immense possibilities as nervous investors throw in the towel. Almost uniquely, I cannot say that this falls into such a category as the correlated nature of the investments raises the risk of further large hits to capital. This might outweigh the inherent cheapness, though I own a few, but fractional as compared with previous holdings. The NAV smash when the share price was around 61p was a massive, massive red flag. I have not been able to finesse it since then, no matter how much attention I give it. The opaqueness kills all that, at least for now.

Hey Brucie,

The dividend yield isn't real. It's just distributions to shareholders of loans being repaid by borrowers. (which obviously stop providing returns to VPC once repaid)

This thread is worth a read through, but ultimately VPC has:

1. some PE assets that nobody thinks are worth much. For example a big holding is wefox which, if you follow CHRY, you know isn't looking great. And if Razor goes bust nobody would be surprised...

2. a loan portfolio where the better loans are being repaid and the dodgier ones are left behind.

30p isn't a terrible entry point for an investment within an appropriate tax wrapper, but it's going to be a long wait to get 40-50p back, assuming nothing major implodes...

The Oak Bloke... On his Substack..VSL posted a positive +0.64% return in March (positive both for loan revenue and for equity) but the share price has fallen yet further. VSL holds high interest secured loans and equity positions in mainly US Fintech/eCommerce companies. It's fallen to the point where the entire Fintech/Ecommerce equity holdings could be wiped out and worth zero and there's still 25% upside from the loans. Loans where VSL is Senior and Equity where VSL has preference.A 44% discount where dividends and capital returns over the next 12 months alone should be a further 8p+16p = 24p.On a simple returns basis that leaves you owed 16.5p a share, while the remaining NAV could be around 60p a share net assets.... a 72.5% discount to NAV.With further capital, dividend returns, and equity holdings which might surprise to the upside, I reckon you could get to a
