Duke Capital (DUKE): Taking Duke Capital to the next level
In our April 2024 initiation, we highlighted that DUKE, by optimising the best of equity and debt, aimed to achieve equity-type returns with debt levels of risk.

Here, we update investors on how management will take DUKE to the next level, noting i) a...

Duke Capital - Initiation - Making high returns supporting SMEs

Feature article: Labour’s first Budget - Investors in their sights? Summary ► Budgets are always important for investors. ► The imminent Budget, at the end of October, will be doubly so, because it is the first from the new Labour government, and it has already signalled the need to fill an alleged £22bn black hole, while ruling out changes to more than half the tax base. That implies a lot of the pain will be felt by investors. ► This paper considers the impact of increases in rates for th...

Feature article: Solid IICs, cash-consolidating REIFs Since the beginning of 2024, the share prices of Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs) have generally remained lacklustre, failing to recover from the losses experienced in 2023. A significant factor contributing to this trend has been the sharp rise in interest rates since 2021, which has negatively impacted the sector due to the increased yields on “risk-free” 10-year gilts. The recent...

The Hardman & Co Monthly: June 2024
Feature article: Two worlds divided by a common language Summary Few people would deny that raising capital in 2023 and 2024 has been very challenging. The key components of the market, the “two worlds” of corporates and investors, are nowadays often far apart in how they assess value – pre-COVID, this was much less of an issue. This has resulted in frustration and inertia, which, on a sustained basis, can have a significant negative impact on companies and the economy. This issue needs urgen...

The Hardman & Co Monthly: May 2024
Feature article: Is silver the cheapest asset on the planet? Silver is a precious metal, a monetary metal and an industrial metal with a surprisingly wide range of uses. It’s not that well understood by investors and tends to get overshadowed by gold – but, perhaps, not for much longer. We think that the provocative title of this article is justified by silver’s attractive fundamentals. The “official figures” from the Silver Institute estimate that the silver market has been in deficit for the...
