Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust - Established vehicle with new engine for growth

Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust (MNP) has a new lead manager, Zehrid Osmani, formerly a senior portfolio manager and head of European equities research at BlackRock. He describes the trust as â€˜the same vehicle with a new engineâ€™, and is very excited about the prospects in his new role. Having introduced new elements to Martin Currieâ€™s investment process, the manager is confident that the trustâ€™s performance can improve, which he hopes will become apparent over the next 24 months. Osmani recognises that the AIC Global sector is a competitive peer group, so he understands that MNPâ€™s performance needs to stand out from the crowd. The trust has a zero discount mechanism and a progressive dividend policy, and currently offers a yield of 1.8%.

Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust - High-quality equity offering in an uncertain world

Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust’s (MNP’s) manager Zehrid Osmani was correct in his assumption that investors were too conservative in 2023; global equities delivered an above-average total return led by large-cap US technology stocks. However, he believes that the consensus outlook for 2024 is too bullish given economic uncertainty and increasing geopolitical risks. The manager’s view is that with inflation remaining elevated, western central banks will not reduce interest rates until the second half of 2024, which is likely to cause disappointment and stock market volatility. With such a...

Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust - Performance returning to positive historical form

Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust’s (MNP’s) relative performance is back on track following a tough 2022, when investors favoured value and cyclical companies rather than growth businesses.

Over the last decade, the trust has generated robust double-digit absolute annual NAV and share price total returns of 10.3% and 10.6% respectively. Within the AIC Global sector, MNP’s NAV total returns are above average over the last one and five yea...

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.
