Edison Investment Research Limited (JGC) Edison Investment Research Limited: Edison issues initiation on Jupiter Green Investment Trust (JGC) 02-Feb-2017 / 09:32 GMT/BST Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement, transmitted by EQS Group. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. London, UK, 2 February 2017 Edison issues initiation on Jupiter Green Investment Trust (JGC) Jupiter Green Investment Trust (JGC) seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in companies that provide solutions to environmental challenges. It is managed by members of the environmental and sustainability team at Jupiter, which launched the UK's first environmental fund, Jupiter Ecology, in 1988. The portfolio is global and multi-cap, although because of a tilt towards smaller companies it uses the MSCI World Small Cap Index as a performance benchmark. Absolute returns have been positive over all periods from one month to 10 years (annualised for periods longer than one year), and an active discount control mechanism aims to keep the shares trading close to NAV. At 31 January 2017, JGC's shares traded at a 5.1% discount to cum-income net asset value. This compares with averages of 7.1%, 4.1% and 5.4% over one, three and five years. The trust regularly buys back its shares to keep the share price close to NAV, particularly if the discount is wider than c 4%. The fact that the current discount is slightly wider than this may reflect the generally higher level of discounts on trusts with a bias to smaller companies; by way of comparison, UK smaller company trusts stood at an average discount of 13.0% at 31 January.
