In this episode, our director of content, investment trusts Milosz Papst explores UIL, an investment company whose aim is to maximise shareholder returns by identifying investments worldwide where the estimated underlying value is not fully recognised. He talks about ICM, the company’s investment manager, and its stock selection process based on the following three medium-term views: 1) the world’s financial markets are over indebted; 2) technological change offers strong investment upside; and 3) emerging markets offer better GDP growth opportunities than developed markets. He delves into UIL’s investment portfolio, including its four major platforms. He also comments on the company’s leverage, dividend policy and discount to NAV.
