Feature article: “ROOM” (Running Out of Money) risk, How managing liquidity risk can sustain corporate value and maintain shareholder confidence As we come close to the end of a very challenging year for many UK entrepreneurs, as well as a frustrating period for shareholders, it is time to address one elephant in the ROOM! ROOM stands for “Running Out of Money”. The risk of doing so, or the perception that it could occur, can destroy corporate values and prematurely paralyse a business. While ...
RECI’s discount has halved over the past six months. We believe this is due to both actions taken by the trust (with an active buyback programme, changing asset mix and enhanced disclosure of highest-risk positions) and more favourable markets. Interestingly, not all debt investment companies have benefitted from the more favourable markets. By historical standards, the current level of RECI’s discount is very high, ca.10% above the 10-year average. RECI was at an average 2% premium in 2015-19, ...

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...

Feature article: UK life sciences needs more local institutional support to survive. For two years running, the Hardman & Co Healthcare index has declined, underperforming both the FTSE 100 and the FTSE All-Share indices. This is quite unusual for healthcare stocks. Apart from the general economic influences, which have made institutions more risk-averse, there was a common knowledge that several companies were in need of additional working capital; so, share prices were marked down in anticipa...
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...
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...

We last reviewed RECI’s operations in France, 25% of the latest portfolio, in our note, Vive la difference, published 15 February 2022. The core approach is unchanged, but, following the December 2023 factsheet report of an unrealised hit of 1.6p to the NAV from a prime Grade A Paris office exposure, we thought we would review them again. Also, with the November Factsheet reporting a 1.1p NAV hit from a legacy mezzanine position exposed to a Berlin asset, we have considered the de minimis German...

Despite this, some companies can still make extremely...
