"This is not a growth company needing more equity to grow its business and thus make bigger and bigger profits."
The company has been selling shares at a premium to NAV whilst EPS has been covered according to results ... maybe go work out what the drop in the top listed investments are to get an idea of the market volatility.
Funds such as this grow by selling shares preferably at a premium to NAV, whilst buying shares back when at a discount.
The share is currently trading some 2% below NAV with a divi on the horizon ... the risks here are China, Russia and Taiwan ... along with the Western spat.
Personally, and given the malaise in China and Hing Kong, it's hardly a surprise the NAV has fallen ....
... like pretty much everything on my watch list .. so I'm not quite sure what you expect.
