From small acorns….

Herald Investment Trust (HRI) provided very strong returns during 2017 (NAV and share-price total returns of 26.9% and 32.7% respectively) with positive contributions coming from all of its regional portfolios. During 2017, a significant proportion of HRI’s NAV performance came from 24 holdings, all of which at least doubled in share price terms. These stocks, which accounted for 8.2% of the portfolio at the beginning of 2017, contributed 63% of HRI’s aggregate return. This neatly illustrates that, in the technology space, a holding that might appear insignificant can very quickly become important once it starts to move. This also provides some validation of the manager’s strategy of maintaining an extensively diversified portfolio.
