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.

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.
