The Law Debenture Corporation - Firing on all cylinders
The Law Debenture Corporation (LWDB) is unusual among investment trusts in that it runs a long-established independent professional services (IPS) business alongside its investment portfolio of global equities. With the corporate entity having refreshed its management team, growth in the IPS business has been strong in H118, and income from the businesses (which include corporate trusts, pension services, corporate services and whistleblowing) provided 30% of LWDB’s net revenue per share, in spite of accounting for only 13.5% of fair value NAV. Meanwhile, the investment trust portfolio has produced strong long-term NAV total return performance versus its FTSE All-Share benchmark, and managers James Henderson and Laura Foll continue to find attractively valued opportunities in the UK, which remains severely out of favour among professional investors.Law Debenture Corporation is an investment trust and a provider of independent professional servicesdivides into two areas of business: investment trust and independent professional services.
