Duke Capital - Initiation - Making high returns supporting SMEs
Duke Capital provides long-term hybrid capital finance to lower-middle market SMEs in a business model unique in the UK. Duke earns an attractive 12%-14% cash yield on initial investment generating reliable cash revenue of c£30m pa, with multiple upside kickers which have generated high returns on recycled investment. Despite increasing returns over WACC, Duke is trading at a discount to its historic rating, which we believe represents a significant opportunity for investors. The company has just announced a conditional £17.2m equity raise with an additional £3m retail offer and plans to attract a further c£100m in third party capital. Duke offers capital preservation, upside on exits and a dividend yield of 9.4%, over four times the average yield on AIM.
