Edinburgh Investment Trust (EDIN) has reported results for the year ending 31/03/2025, during which the NAV rose 8.3% and the share price 11.3% versus a 10.5% rise in the FTSE All Share, all in total return terms.

This means that in the five years since the change of strategy both NAV and share price returns have been well ahead of those of the FTSE All Share, up 103.9% and 112.7% respectively against just 76.5% for the index.

Over FY 2025, the managers reported a strong year for the portfolio in terms of profits and earnings, with NAV underperformance due to an underweight to HSBC and stock specific issues with three holdings.

While they hold 6.7% in three overseas positions, the managers argue that the UK continues to offer a wide range of strong businesses which are attractively valued in absolute terms and versus peers.

The total dividends declared for the year were 5.9% up on FY 2024, and worth 28.8p in total, equivalent to a yield of 3.6% on the share price at the time of writing. Dividend growth was thus well ahead of the rise in the UK CPI, which was 2.3%.

Discounts remained wide across much of the investment trust sector, with EDIN no exception. The board undertook a significant buyback programme, repurchasing 4.7% of the shares in issue, bringing the total bought back to 17.7% over five years, while the board states it has been considering whether it should go further and look at tenders or continuation votes.

Board chair, Elisabeth Stheeman, said: “The volatility in markets that followed the tariff announcements is another reminder of the short‑term challenges that investors face as the global economic order evolves. We feel more strongly than ever that a stock‑driven and flexible investment process, focusing on delivering attractive long-term total returns, is the best way of navigating the geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges to the advantage of shareholders.”
