In our latest podcast, Sharesify’s Steven Frazer and James Crux welcome Laura Foll, co-manager of investment trust Law Debenture (LWDB). This trust is a rare breed in the current investment trust space.
With a unique operating model that may be partly responsible for the shares trading at a premium to NAV, Laura talks us through this model. Moreover, she explains what she believes its advantages are.
47 years of dividends
We then touch on the manager’s thoughts on its ‘Dividend Hero’ status (47 years and counting). Laura explains why she believes that is a big attraction for retail investors.
Steve and James talk through current turmoil in global markets as geopolitical events play havoc with stability. They then ask Laura for her thoughts on what Law Debenture can, and is, doing to manage volatility.
We also discuss the trust’s rich mix of FTSE 100’s among its top holdings (4 major banks, both oil majors, plus an assortment of energy, engineering and retail companies). This is a remit that allows overseas investment. Additionally, we cover why UK valuations have on-shored Law Debenture capital recently, and views on borrowing to maximise returns.
