The latest announcement is out from Mobius Investment Trust Plc ( (GB:MMIT) ).

Mobius Investment Trust reported a 6.9% net asset value total return and a 3.2% share price total return for the year to 30 November 2025, but significantly underperformed its MSCI Emerging Markets Mid Cap comparator index and saw its discount to NAV widen to 11.5%. Results were hit by style headwinds favouring large-cap and value stocks, a higher-than-expected 43.1% take-up in a voluntary redemption that has increased discount volatility, and continued trading at a discount despite steady portfolio operational progress and sustained ESG engagement, while the board maintained the dividend at 1.7p and implemented a planned leadership transition with a new chair and additional non-executive directors to strengthen governance.

The trust’s board remains confident in the long-term strategy, highlighting resilient earnings and operational execution across holdings, and the NAV since inception modestly ahead of its benchmark. It is focusing on scale, liquidity and shareholder register quality after the redemption exercise, using market volatility to reallocate capital into high-conviction positions and arguing that its focus on fundamentally strong emerging markets companies positions it well amid heightened geopolitical and market uncertainty.
