Review: Asian income specialist at a rare discount
Henderson Far East Income (HFEL) seeks to blend the superior growth prospects of investing in Asia with a focus on generating a high income. With a current dividend yield of 6.9%, it is comfortably the highest yielding of its close peer group, and manager Michael Kerley also sees potential for double-digit dividend growth in the portfolio over the next 12 months. Capital performance has been more muted in a period of volatility as investors have focused on the risks arising from a slowdown in China, but NAV total returns in the half-year ended 29 February 2016 were positive in absolute terms and ahead of the FTSE Asia Pacific ex-Japan index benchmark. Having traded at an average premium to NAV of 0.6% since launch in 2007, the fund currently stands at a small discount.
