Business
Last week we had the great
opportunity, now the great
risk: sell infrastructure trusts
WHEN last week we asked a
prominent fund manager to identify
the best opportunity in the market – he
plumped for “micro-cap” investment
trusts – we also asked the
opposite question: where
did he see the worst
prospects. His answer?
Infrastructure trusts.
Just as the fund
manager, Nick
Greenwood of Miton, said
a “perfect storm” had sent
micro-cap trusts’ shares
to attractively low levels,
a combination of factors had
pushed infrastructure trusts to the
other extreme.
“The first is that these trusts are
‘yield starvation vehicles’ – they
appeal to investors desperate
for income at a time of very low
interest rates. This has pushed
their shares out to high premiums
to net asset value,” he said.
“Secondly, they are in
our view increasingly
exposed to political
risk.” Mr Greenwood said the rise of
populism around the world amounted
to “a breakdown of the political
certainties that have characterised the
post-war period” and, because
infrastructure trusts hold
assets in sensitive areas
such as water supply, they
were particularly exposed.
Finally, there is
a technical point: if
investors did want to quit
these trusts en masse,
the “buffer” of trading
capacity offered by brokers
is tiny by comparison with the
billions of pounds invested. This
would be felt in dramatic price falls
in the event of a sell-off; current
double-digit premiums could quickly
become double-digit discounts, Mr
Greenwood said.
Three infrastructure trusts
tipped here in the past, John Laing
Environmental Assets, Greencoat
UK Wind and GCP Infrastructure,
are trading at double-digit premiums
and will now be sold; Ecofin Global
Utilities & Infrastructure is already at a
11.5pc discount and remains a hold.
Update: Woodford Patient
Capital Trust
Is this trust, in the news so much
this year for all the wrong reasons,
about to get a new name? There is a
strong possibility in Questor’s view
that Neil Woodford will be sacked
as the trust’s manager following
this week’s announcement by the
board that it is talking to other
fund houses about taking over
the running of the portfolio.
Its statement said: “While the
board remains confident in the
current day-to-day management of
the portfolio, [it] intends to engage
with a broader range of third-party
managers in order to undertake
a full assessment of all potential
management options, which
may or may not lead to a change
in the company’s management
arrangements.”
We don’t know the identity of
these other groups but we can be
certain that if one of them wins the
management contract it will ditch the
Woodford name.
A new manager would also mean
new costs for shareholders: currently
Mr Woodford doesn’t charge for
running the portfolio (there is
provision for a performance fee,
which, naturally enough in view of
the shares’ 52pc fall since flotation, has
not been triggered). A new manager is
unlikely to work for nothing.
The trust also announced that Mr
Woodford had, between July 3 and
8, sold £1m worth of his own shares
in the trust as “a reluctant seller” and
“in order to meet personal financial
obligations, including a tax liability”.
While he was under no obligation
to disclose the sale earlier, Questor
sees the delay as regrettable in view of
the very wide interest in all the trust’s
affairs at present. The sale more than
halved his stake; his remaining shares
are worth about £593,000.
Now that the board has said publicly
that the trust’s management is up for
grabs, the pressure on it to go through
with a change will, in this column’s
view, be overwhelming.
Meanwhile we see the depressed
share price as a reflection of extreme
negative sentiment rather than an
objective valuation of the portfolio. We
will hold on.
