Edison issues review on Miton Global Opportunities (MIGO)

Miton Global Opportunities (MIGO) seeks to provide absolute returns in excess of those on cash by investing predominantly in other closed-end funds that are under-researched, out of favour or trading on unwarranted discounts. The multi-asset portfolio, managed by Nick Greenwood, has performed strongly over the past 12 months, beating the total return from both UK and world equities and most of its multi-asset and absolute return peers. The introduction of a three-yearly redemption option may have helped to narrow the discount from its long-term average of c 9-10%. Meanwhile, the appointment of Numis as corporate broker and investment company marketing specialist Frostrow Capital has led to a significant increase in liquidity, as well as rebalancing the share register towards retail execution-only platforms as the discount has narrowed over the past 12 months.

At 12 July 2017, MIGO's shares traded at a 0.7% premium to cum-income NAV, surpassing the 10-year low discount of 0.1% reached in early May 2017 and comparing with average discounts over one, three, five and 10 years of 5.6%, 8.6%, 9.0% and 9.5% respectively. The weighted average discount of the underlying holdings at 30 June was 16.2%; this is also narrower than the historical average, although still wider than the 3.9% average for all investment trusts.
