Edison Investment Research - Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust (BGCG) Review: Pan-Asian multi-manager solution

Review: Pan-Asian multi-manager solution

Witan Pacific Investment Trust (WPC) aims to achieve long-term capital and real dividend growth primarily through equity investments in the Asia-Pacific region (including Japan and Australia). The regional index has lagged the world market over the last year, leaving the forward P/E multiple at an appealing level compared with both western markets and history. WPC offers a single fund solution for investors seeking exposure to the region given its broad geographical mandate and multi-manager approach.

Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust - Finding big trendsetters amid ‘little giants’

Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust (BGCG) invests in China, aiming to capture current trendsetters and spot future potential market leaders, for a long-term time horizon (typically over five years).

Despite this strong performance and a substantial need for private infrastructure funding, the macroeconomic environment has weighed on INPP’s share price, in common with the wider sector. Regardless, attractive returns are available from the existing portfolio with opportunities for further enhancement.

Portobello SpA - Focus back on the operations

Portobello’s FY23 results demonstrate the primary effects of the out-of-court settlement with respect to VAT and direct taxes (a higher year-end net debt position) and the secondary effects, such as disruption to its trading activities due to management’s focus on cash generation and the company’s inability to trade as previously expected. Following the period end, two capital raises totalling €12.6m, including €3.8m by three of the executive management team, from a maximum mandated amount of €20m, have improved the company’s financial position. The requirement to improve the balance sheet fur...

Intralot - Focus on business development in FY24

Intralot enjoyed good underlying trends in performance in FY23 with encouraging trends in its main countries of focus and further progress on profitability. The much-improved balance sheet and extension of debt maturities mean management can focus on the significant business development opportunities available in FY24 and beyond. The share price looks attractive in the absence of potential new contract wins, which could be materially enhancing to the valuation.
