Any buy back (tender offer) is complicated by lack of liquidity of the supporting shares. It seems that if you do not take advantage there is an even less liquid "rump" that has to be sold at some time in the future. Perhaps the best way would to cash up over the necessary period and pay out everyone once this is done.I will hold and sell the shares into the market as and when iritis opportune.

Korea

In his presentation Lister highlighted a few of his favourite funds, such as Weiss Korea Opportunity (WKOF), an AIM-listed, Guernsey-based investment company which invests in 'preferred' shares issued by South Korean companies. Although these shares come without voting rights and are hard to trade, they stand at big discounts to their underlying value and offer high yields.

With corporate governance in the country slowly improving, Lister argued investors were being paid to wait. As a sign of their potential he described how Samsung's launch of a $10 billion buy-back programme had sent its preferred shares soaring 18%, compared to the 6% rally in its ordinary shares.

Advance owns 13% of Weiss Korea, which Lister said was a distinguishing feature of its fund. 'It's not something you'll see in other emerging market funds,' he said.
