VGI Partners Asian Investments Ltd ( (AU:RG8) ) has shared an update.
Regal Asian Investments reported a post-tax NTA of $3.51 per share at 31 January 2026 and an 11.1% net portfolio return for the month, extending its 12-month gain to 45.1% and lifting its portfolio to $499 million, while the share price traded at a 14.2% discount to NTA. Performance was driven by Korean semiconductor names such as SK Hynix, SK Square and Samsung, robust defence exposure via Hanwha Aerospace, and gains in Japanese and Chinese holdings including Alibaba, while the manager continued capital management through an on-market buy-back ahead of its expected first-half 2026 results release.
Returns were supported by positive trends in AI-related demand, global defence spending and ongoing Japanese corporate reform, underscoring RG8’s positioning in sectors like information technology, materials and financials across Korea, Japan and Australia. The fund remains almost fully invested on a net basis, maintains its portfolio currency hedged to the Australian dollar, and continues to offer an implied 4.0% annual dividend yield at the current share price despite the persistent discount to asset backing.
