Edison issues review on Invesco Asia Trust (IAT)

Invesco Asia Trust (IAT) aims to deliver significant capital returns to shareholders over the long term through investing in Asian equities, following a rigorous bottom-up process. The manager, Ian Hargreaves, is not constrained by index considerations and the portfolio of 50-70 stocks represents his highest-conviction investment ideas over a three- to five-year horizon. The trust has a solid medium- and long-term performance track record and has generated an annualised NAV total return of 11.3% over 10 years, while its dividend per share has more than doubled.

IAT currently trades on a discount to cum-income NAV of 13.4%, which wider than its three-year average of 11.7%. The trust's discount is also wider than many of its peers despite solid long-term performance. IAT's board has introduced a number of changes to broaden the appeal of the trust, which may help to narrow the discount over time.
