Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust - Repositioned and ready to bounce on recovery

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) is the only London-listed investment trust focused on investing in Thailand and the manager Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) believes the Thai equity market remains inefficient. During 2020, the ANW team rebalanced the portfolio. ANW was not well positioned for the unforeseen pandemic and subsequent market rout, and performance disappointed. Nevertheless, the manager picked up undervalued stocks during the 2020 sell-off. The manager expects quality companies within the rebalanced portfolio that are market leaders to better weather the impacts of the pandemic and generate sustainable long-term returns.

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust - Positive prospects for long-term investors

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) is the only London-listed investment trust focused on investing in Thailand, a country that also gives investors indirect exposure to the harder-to-access, but higher-growth economies of its neighbours Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV). ANW was not well positioned for the unforeseen pandemic and subsequent market rout, and performance has disappointed. However, the manager believes the Thai equity market to be inefficient, and says the sell-off is presenting exciting opportunities to invest in quality companies that are mispriced versus their l...

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.
