Update: Thai market relatively resilient despite headwinds

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) is an actively managed closed-ended fund investing in companies listed in Thailand. The trust targets capital growth rather than income, but the managerâ€™s focus on cash-generative companies with strong balance sheets makes yield a differentiating feature and ANW has the highest yield among peers. While recent performance has been affected by political unrest and a resulting economic slowdown, the Thai market has outpaced many Asian markets over the long-term, and the manager points to opportunities for Thai companies to expand into faster growing neighbouring ASEAN countries.

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...

Basilea Pharmaceutica - Cresemba milestone payments continue to roll in

Basilea Pharmaceutica has announced the triggering of a US$1.25m milestone payment from Pfizer, triggered by sustained strong sales of Cresemba in the Asia-Pacific region and China.

AAC Clyde Space - Solid start to the year with further order growth

AAC Clyde Space offers exposure to the fast-growing low Earth orbit space market. A solid start to the year and continued order momentum are encouraging. We also note the internal restructuring to promote delivery of the group’s products and services. We expect this combination to drive an improving performance, albeit within the lumpy nature of the business, in turn improving investor confidence and the stock’s valuation.
