Posted at 09/10/2020 16:32 by vacendak They are still dropping the RNS on the WPC ticker, even if ADVFN (and the others) have stopped reporting the share price under WPC.Anyway, everything now works under BGCG. |
Posted at 16/9/2020 16:54 by vacendak The resolutions have passed so it is hara-kiri for Witan Pacific.Sweet irony, WPC has been beating the benchmark more or less since the announcement of its potential demise. Witan is given a perfunctory good bye in the latest communication. How the mighty have fallen. They were laughing, back in 2005, when they took over the trust from their arch rival Foreign & Colonial (F&C Pacific Investment Trust) and now they got dropped pretty summarily. After all it was the managers that were given an ultimatum last year about liquidating at NAV, not Witan. The new vehicle will be called "Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust plc" and shall have the ticker BGCG. I have prepared a new thread for it: Trying to convince myself to convert in full: The article makes some good points indeed. |
Posted at 24/7/2020 21:50 by vacendak I am agonising on this one. I guess I will take the hypocritical way and stay in too. Baillie Gifford are king Midas compared to the team Witan had put together with WPC of late.Also, the new trust will keep the dividend reserves, which they say they will drain, as in redistribute, over the course of the first year as the new plan is for growth only. Thus, exiting would mean losing on that cash. I am now looking into something that is Far East without too much China and no Japan, which I have plenty of, happily so far, but separately. SDP might do the trick (Schroder AsiaPacific). It performs well compared to WPC. The portfolio is a bit bizarre as it lists some holdings in UK, USA, Italy and Germany but those are allegedly due to companies that are focused on Asia/Pacific. So, I shall be following that a bit and potentially open a small position, then top up accordingly, when I feel like rebalancing the portfolio to Far East ex-Japan. |
Posted at 22/7/2020 07:57 by vacendak 100% China?In this environment? Even though I have a lot of respect for Baillie Gifford, this is just not right. I do not wish to put all of my WPC investment in the hands of filfthy commies. Then again, one should not mix investment with politics. After all Barclays and others bankrolled the Reich during WWII. |

Posted at 28/6/2019 14:59 by vacendak I have had a look at the latest video updates from the WPC managers.Mostly moaning about late 2018. Everubody seems to be worshipping at the altar of "value investing". Nothing wrong with that mind you; I like the method but it has not really worked great of late. |
Posted at 16/5/2016 12:42 by thomasthetank1 Read Edison's note on WITAN PACIFIC INVESTMENT TR (WPC), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research"Witan Pacific Investment Trust (WPC) is a well-established investment trust differentiated by its broad Asian exposure and multi-manager approach adopted in 2005.The three investment managers – Aberdeen, Matthews and Gavekal – employ different investment styles but all have a remit to invest in the Asia-Pacific region including Japan and Australia. WPC has outperformed its benchmark over the longer term and achieved its aim of growing annual dividends at a higher rate than UK inflation. Investors may be attracted by the forw ..." |
