This board is just about as inactive as it's shares have been, however, and believe me, I never thought I would be saying this, but on last night's closing bell, my WWH shares turned in a small profit. Just £72 quid, and wonders never cease, but that compares very favourably with a £2k loss not that many weeks/months ago. I vowed to sell up just as soon as I reduced those losses, however, with momentum finally appearing to be on its side, I might just keep surfing the tide. Well done OrbiMed!
WWH has really started to recover with a further 1.5% gain in SP yesterday. (26.04.24) I’ve probably been OrbiMed's greatest critic over the past 12 months or so, but credit where credit is due, this trust has recently been on a roll. Long may it continue. I'm only 4.5% down now and in a much happier place. There might even be a danger that I'll venture into a positive return in the not too distant future! Keep it up OrbiMed.

Probably mis-timed, and partly through gritted teeth, but small add here for l/term. ah well.
not looking so promising for that 3200 top-up, sigh,
but still time for a correction or two with US elections
stretching ahead of us ...come on joe biden, speak up!
(... or a really serious second wave in china would do it, too.)
and a couple more, but
3200 for a few more pls.
nibbled some, but a decent pull-back would be
good for a more substantial snack. perhaps that
nice mr biden might say something scary about
price controls on pharmas ahead of their election?
Worldwide Healthcare Trust – Telegraph Omits Latest News https://www.sharesoc.org/blog/company-news/worldwide-healthcare-trust-telegraph-omits-latest-news/
Great to hear I'm not alone 🙂. Another good day today. Let's hope it continues.
Not all deaf ears.
I have seen this as a good entry point. In on the basis that I see it going above 335p this year
I've often criticised this trust for its performance over the past year or two, but fair play to the managers, this trust has staged somewhat of a recovery. My losses have been halved over the past couple of months as it appears biotech is on the cusp of greater investor sentiment. Long may it continue!
I know this post will fall on deaf ears as this board is just about as quiet as it gets but, hopefully, it may be of some use to anyone thinking about buying or selling. Good luck to all investors in WWH.

Apologies ftseexplorer, I've not been active on this board lately and even today when the numbers have turned blue (for a change) I've got one eye firmly shut with the other stuck well & truly in squinting mode! Ha ha. Yeah, this trust has performed very poorly versus it's peers. I bought both AZN & GSK (before the break up) and sold out once their respective share prices had gone into a small profit. I'll take a look at Polar... cheers for the tip by the way. On a separate note, I need WWH to hit £36 before I break even. Unfortunately, I bought quite a while ago at a high price.
Phyl, Polar Capital Global Healthcare Trust has grown 22% in the last year versus WWH at 3%. Might be worth a look - marginally lower yield but I guess we are here for capital appreciation.......otherwise holding the individual shares in AZN and GSK for example would be a much better yeild.
Unfortunately, it looks like the situation with this trust will only get worse. They have an over reliance on R&D which is the first to be cut back on any worsening economy. It's therefore likely to remain in the doldrums for a considerable amount of time. Sigh!
Thanks for responding... this board is hard work! More than can what be said about the fund managers we pay exorbitant fees to fail. As you say, pitiful dividend to add salt to injury. I know the market's are down but this just keeps heading south no matter what the market conditions. I don't know where these fund managers actually are? You might be lucky enough to watch one of their podcasts (filmed in the Maldives) informing us hust how good they are before returning to their sun loungers! Hahaha. You can only laugh at one of the biggest jokes on the stock market. Ever the optimist, I live in hope!
I wouldn't mind if the yield was better but it's pitiful for the health sector. I hovered over buying AZN a couple of weeks ago when it hovered around £102 - it's now over £112 which would have been a nice 10% ROI.
May have to rethink this holding as I can't see anything on the horizon that will be a catalyst upwards - only M&A which is obviously unpredictable
So much for the Telegraph. As a reminder, back on the 11th November, 2022, WWH was a share recommendation and back then, trading at £33.60ish. It's basically dropped £2 a share following their recommendation. I wouldn't be guided by the Telegraph going forward, that's for sure. As I write, further share price declines and this, despite their share buy-backs! Sick.
Incredibly, The Telegraph are recommending WWH as a buy. Perhaps they feel it's a good trust in a recessionary environment.
I might be able to answer my own question: a lot of investors pulling out... and who xan blame them!
WWH 2nd largest holding, Astrazenca up more than 3.5% and yet, WWH SP continues to fall as I write. (0.78%) Why???

Hi ftseexplorer, I can certainly say thay it's certainly been a challenge talking to myself! Ha ha. Really appreciate you responding. Thumbs up. Like you, I cannot fathom WWH poor performance and just when you think it cannot get any worse, it does. V poor and today brings no respite. AZN have just posted a profit and yet, this share continues to move downward. I initially bought it a few years ago as a more defensive stock but it's proved to be anything but! My own fault I know. I'm in too deep to pull out now as my losses would are too excessive so I have no choice but to hope for a recovery.
Phyl, I think you've done well to keep the chat going on here. I concur that this trust is dull and I cannot fathom why either.
9% discount to NAV and AZN being their second largest holding, which has had a good run, would lead me to think it should be performing better. Defensive nature of healthcare also stands in its favour.
I keep holding expecting some consolidation in the sector to go in our favour.
And that's saying something!

WWH is one of the worst performing trusts in my entire portfolio as I'm sure it is for a great many others. Can't fathom out why. I refuse to sell at such a loss though so long term hold really does mean long term hold.

Anybody out there?
Having gone one step forward its 3 steps back today. Bloomin typical of WWH!
Even though it's still languishing in the doldrums it's been a much better day today for the SP. For those of the many posters (not) on this board, the WWH October overview is a good watch. The CEO speaks with a great deal of bullish optimism. We'll see.
Down yet again... can't understand why this stock cannot for the life of me gain traction? It's supposed to be quite a defensive trust. It's anything but. No rhyme nor reason for the continuing falls.
*correction: should read £3 a pop. Even better!
Since my last post we've enjoyed somewhat a turnaround in fortunes. Up by circa £2 a pop. I'm still heavily under water here but hopefully the renaissance will continue.
I'm here. And I'm suffering!
Past year this trust has shockingly underperformed its healthcare index, whether US or global. The question I'm asking myself is why pay WWH's fees if they can't even match the index? I'm better off with an ETF it seems.

Do join us as Dr Trevor M. Polischuk, Ph.D. (Partner – OrbiMed Advisors LLC – Co-Portfolio Manager, Worldwide Healthcare Trust PLC) will be presenting and there may be a chance for Q&A
Down again! Don't see any longer term gain in SP growth so may, reluctantly concede defeat!
I hope they have some answers. The growth of this trust has been woeful with little dividend to boot.
We are hosting a webinar with Worldwide Healthcare Trust PLC on the 28 September. Current shareholders and potential investors may find it worthwhile tuning in! More details: https://www.sharesoc.org/events/sharesoc-webinar-with-worldwide-healthcare-trust-plc-wwh28-september-2021/
Hi Spike.....are you still waiting for your top up at 3200 !!
Not a chance Spike (are you the guy from the film Notting Hill ?) More likely to hit 3800 soon. Good luck anyhow.
... was looking for a 3200 top-up last year ...
maybe that could be back on the cards again?

As can be seen below from the growth in the share price, 694p in 2011, 830p in 2012, 1240p in '14, 1632p in '15, 2499p a year ago and 2615p today, after an all-time-high of 2920p in the late summer, from investing in biotech, pharma and health-care companies, mostly in the USA. This is a peach of a good investment.
Pay no attention to the pols. Any temporary price downturn, caused by threats to regulate prices, should be regarded as a top-up opportunity. The land-of-the-free will never legislate price-controls, but threats play well with mug voters around election times.

Samuel Isaly, Non Executive Director, sold 350,000 shares in the company on the 24th April 2014 at a price of 1245.61p. The Director now holds 600 shares representing 0.00% of the shares in issue.

I have held WWH for several years now, slow start but accelerated recently. They are a good solid Trust, well managed and with lots of upside potential via their biotech positions, should M&A activity pick up in the Pharma industry. Personally, I view this like the oil business as its easier to buy pipeline, rather than spend huge amounts in R&D and time to bring drugs to markets. Also the main men in Orbimed have a large personal stake in the Trust, so their own money is at stake.
