INVESCO Perpetual Enhanced Income IPE

[Tymeric]

IPE seems to have taken a hit based on the RNS this morning...

One assumes the investment case is still ok.... and the premium has just about gone...anyone else thinking of buying...or am I missing something..?

[tieresias]

Yes, I'm thinking of buying. I'm no expert but to maintain my overall asset allocation I need more fixed income and IPE came up on the radar.

I added them to a "thought list" over the weekend, but didn't actually get around to implementing the purchase today as I had planned to.

However, this announcement has made me think again. In the end, an investment trust is only as good as its manager and board.

Isn't there still a large premium on IPE?

And be aware of

"The Company's portfolio will be invested to achieve a high level of income whilst seeking to maximise total return through investing in a diversified portfolio of high yielding corporate and Government bonds."

As of today, the premium is 3.2%, down from about 8% a week or so ago.
The FE risk score is 55, the lowest of all the bond ITs ( compared to 100 for the FTSE 100).
It seems to me that new managers will probably do as well as the previous ones did.
So my conclusion is, if you want an income portfolio, or a balanced portfolio, now is a reasonable time to buy IPE.

I did buy some yesterday for 75p...which I'm fairly happy about...only time will tell.

HL seem to be behind the curve when it comes to updated info on IT's
