Edison issues research update on Witan Pacific Investment Trust

Witan Pacific Investment Trust (WPC) has followed a broad Asian multi-manager approach since 2005. It has outperformed its benchmark over this period and is now unique among Asia-Pacific investment trusts in retaining a mandate that includes Japan and Australia. Macro uncertainties have contributed to a market setback during the summer, but this may provide a more attractive entry point for investors in terms of market valuation and, for WPC, a wider than average discount.

The discount to cum-income NAV at 14.6% compares with the three-year average of 12.7% and the maximum of 18.2%. Markets have staged a partial recovery since the summer and, if this is sustained, there should be scope for the discount to narrow significantly.
