Glossary
NAV (Cum Income) The value of investments and cash, including
current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as
loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).
NAV (Ex Income) The value of investments and cash, excluding
current year revenue, less liabilities (prior charges such as
loans, debenture stock and preference shares at fair value).
Share price Closing mid-market share price at month end.
Discount/premium The amount by which the price per share of
an investment trust is either lower (at a discount) or higher
(at a premium) than the net asset value per share (cum
income), expressed as a percentage of the net asset value
per share.
Total assets Cum Income NAV multiplied by the number of
shares, plus prior charges at fair value.
Net assets Total assets minus any liabilities such as bank loans
or creditors.
Market capitalisation Month end closing mid-market share price
multiplied by the number of shares outstanding at month
end.
Share price total return The theoretical total return to the investor
assuming that all dividends received were reinvested in the
shares of the company at the time the shares were quoted
ex-dividend. Transaction costs are not taken into account.
Net asset value total return The theoretical total return on
shareholders' funds per share reflecting the change in Net
Asset Value (NAV) assuming that dividends paid to
shareholders were reinvested at NAV at the time the shares
were quoted ex-dividend. A way of measuring investment
management performance of investment trusts which is not
affected by movements in discounts/premiums.
Yield Calculated by dividing the current financial year's
dividends per share (this will include prospective dividends)
by the current price per share, then multiplying by 100 to
arrive at a percentage figure.
Ongoing charges The total expenses for the financial year
(excluding performance fee), divided by the average daily
net assets, multiplied by 100.
Gearing The effect of borrowing money for investment
purposes (financial gearing). The amount a company can
“gear” is the amount it can borrow in order to invest. Gearing
is used in the expectation that the returns on the investments
bought will exceed the costs of the borrowings that funded
the purchase. This Company can also use synthetic gearing
through derivatives and foreign exchange hedging and/or
other non-fully funded instruments or techniques.
Leverage The Trust’s leverage is the sum of financial gearing
and synthetic gearing. Details of the Trust’s leverage limits
can be found in both the Key Information Document and
Annual Report. Where a trust utilises leverage, the profits
and losses incurred by the trust can be greater than those
of a trust that does not use leverage.
Net cash A company’s net exposure to cash/cash equivalents
expressed as a percentage of shareholders’ funds, after any
offset against its gearing. This is only shown for companies
that have gearing in place.
Net gearing A company’s total assets (less cash/cash
equivalents) divided by shareholders’ funds expressed as a
percentage.
Risk rating The key measure used to assess risk is volatility of
returns, using historic net asset value (NAV) performance of
the trust over 1 and 3 years. In this instance volatility
measures how much a trust’s NAV fluctuates over time in
relation to the UK Equity market. The higher a volatility figure,
the more the NAV has fluctuated (both up and down) over
time. Please note that risk categorisations are indicative and
based principally on historic data and should not be solely
relied upon when making investment decisions.
