Caledonia Investments – Public matters
On 24 June Caledonia Investments (CLDN) hosted a public companies spotlight event, where the managers presented in detail on the company’s global portfolio of publicly listed investments. This element of the portfolio has a strategic allocation of between 30% and 40% of net asset value (NAV), currently making up 33%. Around 30 companies are held across two portfolios, with a capital portfolio accounting for 72% of the total and income 28%. The target return is 10% per annum for the capital portfolio and 7% for income.
This note focuses specifically on the public companies strategy, and accompanies our note from April which looked at CLDN’s private capital strategy, following a similar spotlight event. The most recent event reassured us about the high quality of the companies held and the robust investment process that determines their selection.
