vs asset value
10.3% discount
We seek to achieve long-term returns by investing in predominantly UK-listed equities using a value-based philosophy inspired by the teachings of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Benjamin Graham and Phillip Fisher. Our approach, combined with thorough research, invests in high quality businesses run by honest and competent management purchased at prices that, even with low expectations, aim to deliver excellent returns.
10.3% discount — the shares change hands for less than the value of what the trust owns. Unlike an open-ended fund, a trust’s shares are bought and sold on the stock exchange, so their price is whatever buyers and sellers agree — not the value of the portfolio behind them.Share price 2.53 · asset value per share 2.82 (GBP)
