British Empire Securities and General Trust said its investments had outstripped its benchmark in the final quarter of 2012. Over the three months the trust's net asset value rose by 7.9%, compared to an increase of 2.8% for its benchmark, the Morningstar Global Growth Index, resulting in an outperformance of 5.1%. French multinational, Vivendi, the largest position in the portfolio, was a significant contributor to the performance over the period. During the period the weighted average discount on the portfolio narrowed from 30.2% at the end of September 2012 to 25.9% at calendar year end. The discount calculation is a measure of how much the share price of each stock in the portfolio is below the firm's estimate of its net asset value. The narrowing was driven by a combination of factors including greater investor confidence and an increase in the level of corporate activity amongst portfolio companies, the trust said.

British Empire Investment Trust (BTEM.L) Discount to NAV British Empire Investment Trust has been added to my portfolio because it is uniquely positioned amongst funds at the crossroads of a number of themes that appeal to me. - Discount to NAV - Owner Operated Businesses - Strong Track Record - European Equities - No Sell-side coverage/ Institutional Sponsorship - Concentrated Portfolio The British Empire Investment Trust managers believe that their edge is maintained by keeping a very small investable universe relative to most of their “Global” investing peers. They focus on conglomerates, investment holding companies, asset backed investments or investment trusts trading at a discount to their own NAV. They think that this area of the market is particularly susceptible to inefficiencies and mispricing because their universe doesn’t possess any “natural owners” in the institutional world and often the stocks are quite hard to categorize or pigeonhole into sectors.
