FAV: questions for the 2022 AGM on 23 November

In this note, we ask the questions we would ask the FAV board at the forthcoming AGM, on 23 November 2022. To offer a perspective, we also give the answers that we would give, if we were asked the same questions. We believe they fall into three key areas, and we ask i) why has the trust outperformed over the long term, ii) what are the short-term prospects, especially bearing in mind the market's appetite for small-cap, value companies in Asia, the trust's exposure to Chinese and financial businesses, and sentiment risks, and iii) how the trust is managed in terms of its discount/buyback, the large dividend increase, and its conservative approach to gearing.
