MIGO’s NAV fell by 0.6% in October As anticipated, October was a turbulent month, marked by a series of high-stakes political events. From the Georgian election to the UK budget and the decisive US presidential election, the global political landscape underwent significant change. Throughout this period, the trust adopted a cautious approach, making minimal adjustments to the portfolio. We believe this approach was prudent, given the difficulty of predicting such binary outcomes and we came out relatively unscathed.

MIGO's nav increased by 2.0% in July.
July proved to be a quiet month with global markets static. Nevertheless, there was some progress in investment trust share prices as the sector started to get to grips with the problems of oversupply. Our winners included R T W Biotech, Duke Capital (corporate mortgagees), Amedeo A4 (aircraft leasing) and Tufton Oceanic (shipping). These names highlight the extent of the diversification a holding in MYGO Opportunities Trust brings to a client portfolio.
