LICs are a great way to achieve market diversification or invest conservatively for those investors without the expertise or inclination to invest directly in other ASX listed companies. LICs in Australia primarily invest in Australian or international shares and offer investors exposure to the same universe of assets that can be accessed through many unlisted managed funds. LICs are bought and sold on the market just like an ordinary share and investors can decide whether the investment style and underlying investment portfolio of a particular LIC suits their own investment objective

LICs that are sold for less than their true value

The LIC may or may not be completely transparent when it comes to revealing its holdings or NTA [net tangible assets]/performance numbers, and the costs are substantially higher — moreover they usually earn a bonus if they outperform.

LIC share prices, like that of every other publicly traded company, fluctuate based on supply and demand. This means that while the fund may have $1 in assets per share, the stock may be trading for 80 percents… or $1.20.

A large fish may buy out LIC, which is trading at a significant discount to the NTA, and liquidate it for a profit.

LICs can occasionally provide good discounts.

LIC managers tend to get upset when their fund gravy train gets taken away from them

The LIC gets smacked sometimes, especially during periods of acute lack of confidence, while the assets it holds bounce swiftly, thus buying the LIC at a discount is like going back in time and buying those equities before the rally.

NCC With High Dividend Yields of Over 7%

Experience Co Ltd (ASX: EXP), Saunders International Ltd (ASX: SND), and Contango Asset Management Ltd are some of its current investments (ASX: CGA).

COVID-19’s effects on industrial small cap stocks have made things difficult in 2020. Despite this, since its debut in February 2013, Naos Emerging Opportunities has generated an average annual return of 10.1 percent (after expenses but before fees). The same rate is been marked in 2021 also.

The LIC has increased its dividend every year since FY13 due to which the high dividend yield appears to be safe for the next few coming years. It has a profit reserve of 32.7 cents per share, or nearly four years’ worth of dividends at the current rate.

Its current post tax NTA is $1.18 and NCC INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE SINCE INCEPTION is 13.44% marked in June 30, 2021. Even with the strong FY21 performance it is also worth adding that a number of the NCC core investments didn’t perform as expected and, in some cases, actually detracted from overall performance.

The War of WAM on ASX! Wilson’s New LIC Hits the Share Market

The founder of WAM in charge of WAM Strategic Value is Geoff Wilson, assures investors in WAM Strategic Value’s ASX WAR prospectus that the company will focus on “finding and investing in $1 of assets for 80 cents.

The LIC intends to accomplish this by grabbing the opportunity of market mispricing like securities trading at discounts to assets or NTA (net tangible assets), corporate transactions, and dividend yield arbitrages with franking credit benefits.

WAM Strategic Value will largely be in the business of purchasing assets from other LICs and Listed Investment Trusts (LITs) for less than their true value. After all, with its $200 million+ funding, it’s likely invested in quite a bit so far. Back then, their units were trading at a 12.2 percent discount to their NTA value.
