Report

Grounds for optimism

Last year, as COVID-19-related panic took hold of markets, Henderson Diversified Income’s (HDIV’s) managers increased HDIV’s exposure to the market by borrowing money to invest and increasing the trust’s holdings of credit derivatives (see page 8 for an explanation). This enabled the trust to pick up some bargains and lock in an attractive income stream.

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. On 25 February 2022, shareholders overwhelmingly approved a new investment objective and policy that seeks to better define and highlight the trust’s approach to ESG issues. Recent market jitters triggered by the war in Ukraine have left HDIV trading on a much wider discount and higher yield than its long-run average. Markets were already pricing in a number of interest rate rises this year as central bankers l...

Fidelity Emerging Markets – The long and short of emerging markets

Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited (FEML) gives investors access to a wide range of emerging market shares. The managers have a flexible approach, investing in companies of all sizes and spreading investments across different countries and sectors. A key feature is the use of both long and short positions, allowing the fund to benefit from opportunities in both strong and weaker companies. Performance has been strong over the past year, supported by favourable conditions for emerging markets. The discount to net asset value (NAV) has also narrowed, and there is potential for it to reduce fur...

Global Opportunities Trust – Cash pile grows as valuations climb

Strong performance from Global Opportunities Trust’s equity portfolio drove solid NAV growth in 2025. Shareholders also benefited as the trust’s discount to NAV narrowed, though it remains wide. Noting higher valuations in the portfolio and broader market, the manager took profits and increased cash, leaving the trust ready to act if markets fall. The trust is no longer self-managed, which should allow greater flexibility with the use of both gearing and derivatives. Currently, the manager sees opportunities in mid-cap companies with unique valuation drivers and low sensitivity to the ec...

Lindsell Train Investment Trust – Durability in times of volatility

Market volatility at the start of 2025 – brought about by tariff uncertainty and the release of the Chinese AI model DeepSeek – provided an interesting snapshot into the potential performance of the companies that Lindsell Train Investment Trust (LTI) and its manager, Lindsell Train Limited (LTL), invest in during times of market stress. The durability and resilient cash flows, which are hallmarks of LTL investments, proved popular with investors, with many holdings recording large share price gains in the first few months of the year – counter to the wider market. Others did not do quite a...
