"Dear Prudence"

In the face of declining yields across its investment universe, the managers of Henderson Diversified Income Trust plc (HDIV) have decided to take a pragmatic and sensible approach by refusing to chase higher yielding but riskier opportunities. Instead the trust is paying the price for prudence by cutting its dividend. The managers say many shareholders have been consulted and are supportive of this move.

Henderson High Income / Henderson Diversified Income – Merger terms agreed

Henderson Diversified Income (HDIV) has agreed heads of terms for a combination with Henderson High Income (HHI). As part of the deal, shareholders in HDIV will have the option to take cash for all or part of their holding if they choose. In July 2023, HDIV’s chairman noted (see our news story here) that the trust had shrunk through share buybacks, and that this was inflating its average running costs and affecting liquidity. More importantly, he also made some observations about the fund’s investment approach (devised at launch in 2007) and the impact that this might be having on the sustain...

Henderson Diversified Income Trust - Ahead of the curve

Henderson Diversified Income (HDIV) is managed with a focus on good quality issuers operating in growing industries. Sustainability is an important factor in any assessment of quality.

GCP Infrastructure – Consolidate and capitalise

For most of 2024, financial conditions had finally started to turn favourably for infrastructure investors. Inflation had dropped sharply from the previous year, allowing the Bank of England to begin its easing cycle, while the new government’s ambitious plans for infrastructure development provided a renewed sense of optimism across the sector. These green shoots were evidenced by GCP’s annual results, which showed a total shareholder return of 28.4%, leading to a significant narrowing of its stubborn discount. Unfortunately, a negative reaction to the UK budget, and concerns around the infla...

Pantheon Infrastructure – Powering up

Over the past year, as its portfolio continues to mature, Pantheon Infrastructure (PINT) has risen towards the top-end of peer group performance tables as Figure 11 on page 11 shows. Over the first six months of 2024, PINT reported a NAV return of 8.5%, running well ahead of its target of 8%–10% per annum. In PINT’s recent results, the stand-out winner within the portfolio was the US power generation business Calpine. This note delves into the Calpine story in more detail and sets out why we feel it could still have much further to go. The discount has started to narrow, suggesting that ...
