Strong Balance SheetZero debt and a materially larger equity base from 2020–2025 provide a durable capital cushion. This reduces insolvency and refinancing risk, gives the board flexibility on gearing and distributions, and supports the trust’s ability to hold positions through market downturns.
Improving Cash GenerationFree cash flow turned positive and grew in 2023–2025, reflecting improving cash generation capacity. Stronger recent FCF increases liquidity to cover fees, fund opportunities, and support distributions or buybacks, enhancing resilience versus past cash volatility.
Closed‑ended Structure And Gearing OptionalityThe closed‑ended trust model enables long-term holdings without redemption pressure and allows tactical, controlled gearing. This structural setup supports active stock selection, long-horizon positioning and the strategic use of leverage to enhance returns over market cycles.
