Review: Differentiated, long-term fund at a large discount
The repositioning of Hansa Trust’s portfolio from April 2014 has had a positive impact on performance, the main change being a reallocation from large-cap UK equity holdings to selected core regional funds. Wilson Sons has outperformed its local market, but the depreciation of the Brazilian real has affected its sterling value and Wilson Sons now constitutes 15% of the portfolio. Hansa would look to increase uncorrelated investments in due course if it sees the risk/reward balance in equity markets as less attractive. The combination of Hansa’s long-term endowment style of investment and a wide discount to NAV makes for an interesting, differentiated proposition.Hansa Trust is an investment trust company. Co. invests in a portfolio of quoted and unquoted special situations, many of which may not normally be available to the general public, with the objective of attaining growth of shareholder value. By the very nature of special situation investments, the opportunity to invest in them will arise at any time but often not for long periods.
