Amati Aim Vct Share Price (AMAT)

Quite incredible how this fund invested so consistently in badly performing companies. I think the only reason for it not falling more is its cash! Two years ago this fund was seen as market leading, fair to say it was a false dawn.

This VCT has had a dire 8 months now. The pain keeps coming. Dividend will soon be paid but it will be 4.5p compared with 7p last year. As dividends are based on NAV then this will almost certainly fall further.

Just when one bad month finishes another one starts with this one. It is relentless, pretty much all the stocks they hold that once were stars have been hammered. Day after day.

Geez so many of the stocks Amati holds have fallen fast. Tristel, Polarean, Maxcyte, Frontier Developments, AB Dynanics, Ilika, even now Keywords is 30% off highs. I know it's a long game but been a rotten 6 months. Maybe timing of new offer will allow people to get in at a better price or maybe the sell off of the small cap tech stocks will continue.

I think I'll sell some in Feb when my 6 months lock in from previous purchase ends, not because I've lost faith, I haven't, but I have quite a few I could "recycle" thus selling and waiting another 6 months seems a sensible move for me.
