Yes, we'll have to wait to see what the true impact the russian haircut has had on the income. But, nevertheless, I will continue to buy more at these levels. Happy to keep on with the pound-cost-averaging to secure myself a decent income when I retire in 20 years. Naturally, this ETF is a small part of a wider portfolio of funds.

Tacly, what was the haircut to this fund from the Russion investments. Might you know? I had it as 20%

TOD, that's right, the weak pound should be bolstering the price of SEDY, yet at current levels it is lower than the lowest low of the pandemic. In fact, this is an all-time low, except for the emeraging market crash in 2016. This is bargain territory and I will simply buy more.

Solid performance in these uncertain times. Keep up the good work, Brucey Baby

Share price holding up very well in these uncertain times. Solid stuff.

Agreed. Thomas Moore may be a good manager in these new times where dividends matter, and I like the way he isn't willing to get sucked in to the ESG noise. It also appears that the chairman and directors do a good job of holding him to account.

This has been a good dividend payer over the years, with distributions trending up over time. How can the price be so low?? I think the yield at the moment would be circa 8%. I'm annoyed at the capital loss, but there's only one thng for it - buy more.

Good uplift in nav today. Good set of numbers except the voids.

In my view (and experience as a shareholder) this REIT has been a value destruction project, overseen by a board who have decided to sell out at a discount rather than take responsibility and move the company forward. An utter disgrace, in my opinion. The executives have abused the fact they had nothing to lose and placed no value on the trust given to them by the company's owners. Yet they were compensated generously.

I bought in here about 7 years ago, and it's been an underwhelming investment. But it may have it's day, so I'll continue to hold it alongside my HFEL investment. As an income investor I hope to have a better time of things in the next decade.

I would never invest in an IT that charges a performance fee, and in this respect I am disappointed in Janus Henderson with regards to this trust. It really leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

A decent rise in the share price since the covid slump. This is well managed REIT with prudent gearing. I'll continue to hold.

There is no dilution when an investment trust issues new shares at premium to NAV because they use the money to buy more of the underlying holdings. If those holdings cost less than the value of shares sold, it is to the benefit of existing shareholders. My view - don't worry about it.

I've held this for a long time, buying in at 80p a good while ago. I checked in on the price in late 2020 - shocked to see it at 45p. So I bought some more, hoping the high leverage would see the price rise in a recovery. It's now at 80p with a NAV of circa 90p. Things can change in a short period of time - I'm glad I held my nerve.

I got in at £7.15. Bargain, but I'm watching the pay awards to the CEO and CFO very closely. Significant increases in recent years.
