Infectious enthusiasm

BlackRock Throgmorton Trust (THRG) has shrugged off the effects of COVID-19, which triggered sharp falls in markets in March, and delivered decent returns over 2020. Dan Whitestone, its manager, remains genuinely excited about THRG’s prospects. He has been banging the drum for the trust, encouraging investors to set aside any doubts over the outlook for the UK, and back THRG’s portfolio of growing companies.

BlackRock Throgmorton – AGM update

In yesterday’s BlackRock Throgmorton (THRG) annual general meeting, manager Dan Whitestone outlined the significant potential for a surge in UK small and mid-cap valuations to outstrip those in the large cap sector when the macroeconomic backdrop in the UK improved. Dan highlighted that UK companies’ share prices have become increasingly detached from their earnings potential. A combination of political uncertainty, sticky interest rates, strength in overseas markets (in particular in a handful of big AI-related US tech names), and consistent outflows from UK-focused funds has weighed on valu...

BlackRock Throgmorton Trust

BlackRock Throgmorton Trust (THRG) remains committed to the UK quality-growth small-and-mid-caps that has long characterised the trust. While the UK small-and-mid-cap sector has appeared to have been out of favour recently, THRG’s holdings seem to have stock specific strengths that have allowed its returns to pull away from the wider UK small-and-mid-cap market, once again. The trust is outperforming its benchmark over both the near and long term. The manager says that, irrespective of their share price movements, many of THRG’s holdings have also continued to demonstrate robust/improving fun...

Bluefield Solar Income Fund – Fundamentals shine despite discount

The manger comments that, in common with the other trusts in the renewable energy sector, the last six months have continued what has been a challenging period for the Bluefield Solar Income Fund (BSIF). It adds that the trust’s ongoing fundamental performance has failed to reverse a steady slide in its share price which began back in May 2023. Despite this, it says the company has continued to deliver solid NAV growth and market-leading shareholder distributions thanks to a range of contractual arrangements that underpin its assets. Positively, the manager notes, the falling share price does...

HydrogenOne Capital Growth – Momentum building despite discount

The advisor notes that while shares of HydrogenOne Capital Growth (HGEN) have continued to fall, it believes that investors should be buoyed by the ongoing growth of the portfolio and the accelerating development of the green hydrogen sector.

abrdn Private Equity Opportunities – On the way to greener pastures?

Despite navigating through what its managers considered to be challenging conditions in 2023, abrdn Private Equity Opportunities (APEO) was able to report both positive NAV growth and double-digit share price returns in its recently published annual results. APEO’s discount has narrowed by more than 10% in recent months, so that it is trading on a 28.9% discount currently, narrowing from about 45% last October. These figures were generated over a period that saw a slowdown in activity in European private equity markets in 2023, dampened by what APEO’s managers believed was a residual fear of r...
