Isaly sold almost his entire holding today (350k). I wonder why?
Does he know something we don't?

[chopsy] 22/4/2014 10:38

No A-Z in 10 largest holdings, as of Feb 14....

[chopsy] 22/4/2014 10:35

So, I presume we have some A-Z then, or is it just merger fever?

REVIEW OF THE YEAR AND PERFORMANCE

I am delighted to report that during the year ended 31 March 2013, the
Company's net asset value per share total return was 30.3% and the share price
total return was 30.9%, both closely tracking the Company's benchmark, the MSCI
World Health Care Index on a net total return, sterling adjusted basis, which
rose by 31.4%. I should point out that the share price and the net asset value
total return generated during the year were enhanced by the change in the
Company's dividend payment policy whereby a first interim dividend of 7.0p per
share was paid in January 2013. This "extra" dividend payment enhanced
performance in total return terms by approximately 1.0%. The Company has
continued to benefit from strong performance from biopharmaceutical companies
such as Gilead Sciences and Onyx Pharmaceuticals, and also from large
capitalisation pharmaceutical companies such as Roche Holdings, Pfizer and
Sanofi. Further information on the Company's investments can be found in the
Review of Investments beginning on page 5 of this Annual Report.

Jun 24th 2011 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Worldwide Healthcare Trust (LSE:WWH) entitled "Positive Outlook For Healthcare". In summary, the report says:
Worldwide Healthcare Trust PLC (WWH) has put in a respectable performance during the past 12 months, adding value in absolute terms, and effectively matching its blended benchmark in terms of both price and NAV. The manager considers that healthcare underperformed the broader market during most of 2010, but that a much-anticipated relief rally has now arrived. The manager considers that, despite the uplift, valuations remain close to historical lows and, as such, there remains significant upside potential. WWH has provided 76% year-on-year dividend growth and is the only UK-registered investment trust with a long-term track record to offer a diversified exposure to both the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors.

Interested due to the spread of holdings but the discount to NAV has recently reduced and the latest low was below the previous and the recent high beneath the previous. Think a wait and watch is called for to picj a time to add. Now may not be the time. Interesting.

arja, the exercise prices were set on 4 Sep 09:


The Finsbury chart can be found here:

[arja] 08/1/2011 19:57

on googling , I noticed that exercise price is NAV plus 5% but NAV on what date ?
warrants are often interesting although with CFDs nowadays they are not quite so exciting as they used to be IF you get it right !

[arja] 08/1/2011 19:44

mangal,
just noticed this trust and chart looks like a NOR situation. But is that misleading as I think it had a name change and was called Finsbury ? Am I correct please and it would be interesting to see the chart prior to that name change ??

[mangal] 04/1/2011 10:51

Yes, I agree TA is not much use unless the u/l was a psedo tracker for the HealthCare Sector. Also u/l changed it's remit to HealthCare only recently; so, I guess even the u/l sector TA wouldn't be of much relevance.

Anyway, the main reason I was interested in the share price high point was because of the sub shares; the share price has now gone above the final exercise price of 699p & so the subs should now follow the shares up penny for penny.

[kimboy2] 04/1/2011 10:33

I think as FWP it reached just over 700p in April 2010 which comnpares with about 550p in Sept 2008.

If the reference to break out is something to do with TA (as opposed to Ford Open Prison) then I haven't a clue.

I would have thought TA would be of no use whatsoever with a shre such as WWH which is basically just a mathematical calcualtion of a whole aglomeration of other shares.

I don't really know though.

[mangal] 04/1/2011 10:23

Anyone know what the highest this has been; more pertinently, has this broken out?

[chopsy] 03/8/2010 16:52

Pity the old charts don't join up here. Still the old threads are still there if you want to see them.

[chopsy] 03/8/2010 16:52

New name, new ticker, so new thread. Was Finsbury Worldwide Pharmaceuticals, Investment Trust.

robber, I agree. Take what you can when you can. I managed a few quid myself.

Well done guys.

[robber] 10/8/2000 00:05

thanks for the comments Kayak. I've convinced myself that theres little point in holding on and more value in having the cash so Ive sold my stock and closed my IG position.

As DavB says yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I doubt RBS will come in with a counter bid due to their relationship with Virgin One. Woolwich OpenPlan Offset is a direct competitor to Virgin's mortgage product.

Lloyds might yet come to the party just to make Barclays pay more than they need to (no love loss between them and all that)

What surprises me most is why these banks don't go and buy a cheap Building Soc.

[dodddy] 09/8/2000 14:30

i sold out this am but profits a profit :-)
best of luck to those who are staying in
