Edison issues research review on Seneca Global Income &
Growth Trust (SIGT)
Seneca Global Income & Growth Trust (SIGT) aims to generate
income and long-term capital growth from a range of asset classes.
Investments are made for the long term using a strategic asset
allocation to equities (60%: 35% UK and 25% overseas, with modest
US exposure), fixed income (15%) and specialist assets (25%,
including property and infrastructure assets, where yields can be
in the 5-8% range). Around one-third of the fund is invested in UK
mid-caps, where over time returns tend to be higher than for
large-caps, and where the market is generally less efficient,
providing opportunities for stock picking. There is no exposure to
safe-haven government bonds, which the managers consider
unattractively valued, and SIGT has lower FX exposure than its
peers. Following a change in investment mandate in 2012, SIGT's NAV
total return has meaningfully outperformed the FTSE All-Share
index, with significantly lower volatility.
SIGT's current 1.8% share price premium to cum-income NAV
compares to the average 0.6% premium of the last 12 months and the
average discounts of the last three, five and 10 years (3.2%, 6.4%
and 7.2%, respectively). While SIGT has no formal income target,
the board states that it wants to pursue a progressive dividend
policy. The annual dividend has been increased each year since
2013; the prospective dividend yield is 3.8%.
