Seems to be doing well so far. Trimmed back at £3.40 & £3.60 will hold rest for now.

Dividend this quarter seems to be around 7p area.

Management are consistent in being ahead of the curve. So hoping it stays that way. 🤞

Well this has certainly been a good decision to buy into. Started at around £2.00, average £2.10. So with the rising NAV that 8% yield is looking quite nice.

Does look as though this might carry on its steady rise into the end of the year. 🙂

Well, decided to add more to my holding, bought my average to smidge over 49p. The sale at a decent value to NAV is nice to see. Granted not all will be so easy, but I’m liking the debt reduction and dividend is still very enticing.

Depends on the level of dilution and financial raises we do to get us there.

Similar situation but later to the party. Added more today. Nice to be going into the weekend and in profit. Not a big holder, 1.5M shares, but a happy holder.

Does feel even now that I’m early. Granted many in here have been on the journey already.

Can’t blame people for taking some profits. It why we’re all investing in Stocks, to make a return.

I’m for holding on as I feel Gold price will be higher and Miners haven’t really caught up. Add in potentially higher margins being reported from the producers into Q3 & 4.

If the story changes, I’ll review.

Good luck all holders.

Moving up past 55p. Nice

Well NAV is now 74p+ and we are still holding 53p.

Wonder if we’ve a large holder selling down. Seems strange with Gold price holding up well and the outlook being for it to be higher into 2026. 🤷🏻

Will potentially add more, but holding a lot GGP for now. Certainly look to trim GGP at some point and look to add a bit more here along with other stuff to diversify..

Reduced another position to add a new position here. Will see how this goes over next month or so and decide to add.

Crazy discount, but US jitters are adding to it no doubts.

Well that’s a nice surprise. Recently started buying back here for income.

Reluctant to purchase more with all the Trump Tariff issues. But this has so far held up reasonably well. (Helpful when a director buys a few more).

Appreciate any views on how others view things with SMIF.

Thanks for posting. Good read.

Hopefully we ve bottomed and a decent recovery back towards 90p will ensue. Might be a while, but getting over 80p would be a good start.

Still a 10% yield around here, so added a bit more. Happy with that now.

(Probably hold too many but got my average down a bit more).

Now need around 50% rise in the SP to get to the NAV. 🤷🏻

Added more. Ridiculous price, know it could still get lower, but the NAV discount is crazy.

Got my average down a bit. But the income is my play here. Plus at some point I hope the market will see the discount as worth buying back in.

Meantime, just have trust there isn’t something else to knock the SP.

Hopefully FORESIGHT will use some Hindsight and learn a lesson from this mess.

Might explain the recent drift down in the SP plus today’s over reaction.

Topped up yesterday (Doh), but will add a bit more when funds available.

Sub 85p didn’t see that coming. Suppose the possibility of bond yields rising and talk that BoE may now not cut interest rates as quickly spooking a few. Will add when I can but did think an average of sub 89p (after recent addition) would be good.

At least the share buyback is continuing for now.

Good luck all holders.

Good to see the NAV rising, albeit slowly.

Adding when I can and now got my average to sub 80p. (Will have to balance with other income funds so as not to get too carried away here).

Nice steady payer.

I’ve held this trust on and off for a number of years. Recently decided to re build a position here (currently an average around £2.15). It’s part of my income PF and yes I do monitor it more closely at present.

The drop down from around £3.2 to £2 hasn’t been fun to watch (or hold) and it’s good to see some recovery in the SP.

On the dividend, I must admit I did think they might hold off on an increase possibly upping the last dividend in the year to keep the AIC dividend record of annual increases intact.

It was good to see the board acknowledge the need to dip into reserves to assist Sat in perusing a more growth oriented approach and not stick with so called dividend value traps.

In addition to the options writing I noted Sat mention that a number of the holding had issue large special dividends and some had their calendar dates changed so dividends didn’t fall in the normal record period. All adding to keep the dividend yield up. I’m sure the board will review if the SP growth (and resulting drop in yield) isn’t on track.

I note that US investors have more opportunities to utilise covered call options vehicles like JEPI, so the practice of enhance dividends isn’t out of place. Also there are some OIECs that use options to increase their yields. ‘Enhanced Income Funds’.

For now I happy with progress and like any investment it has its own risk/rewards. (Like others HFEL is not my only income fund, but definitely the highest yielding of my holdings. JLEN, SDV & SREI are some others of mine that are currently high yielding).

Good luck all holders.

Yeah, reading the end of the RNS seems to imply that too.

“… This disposal is a clear illustration of our ability to pro-actively manage the portfolio to provide an attractive and sustainable level of income, together with the potential for growth, from our diversified portfolio of modern, purpose-built care homes."

Fingers crossed they can keep the divi increasing. Certainly like the progress at they are making.

Just trying to gauge if the sale will negatively impact the dividend payout. Appreciate the loss of income as a result of the sale will be offset by the partial debt repayment, but wonder if it means they will reduce the dividend?

Any views much appreciated

Does seem to be relentless at present. Sector feels unloved. Didn’t feel results were bad and they raised the dividend. Added today only to see it drop more - timing, lol.

Will sit and collect the dividend for now.
