And HFEL have issued their half-year update today which includes the following (my emphasis)

The outlook for dividends in the region [Asia-Pacific] remains compelling. The consensus expects 'mid-teens' dividend growth, but from what we have seen in the results for the first three months of the year, this number may prove to be conservative especially considering that earnings growth is forecast to be much higher. Analysts in the region tend to be slower to raise dividend forecasts than earnings forecasts, but as more companies announce results and surprise with dividends either being reinstated or dividend pay-out ratios increasing, we expect these forecasts to rise. The backdrop for higher dividends is firmly in place with companies generating excess cash, having little or no debt and paying out a lower percentage of their net profits as dividends than their developed market peers.

I think a simple Hooray may be a bit of an under-celebration !

RVF

It's done well enough for me, I've bought 4 times since 2014 and a look at the spreadsheet shows an IRR of 8.4%

Another very happy holder of HFEL here. I’m not aware of another investment trust that has sustained a track record of such a high yield with above inflation dividend increases. I have also been very lucky in that every time I’ve decided to purchase HFEL a dip suddenly appeared. I have an IRR of 13.4%.

My holding has gotten a little too large so it’s having a trim once ex-div. the proceeds have already been spent on the recent Gore Street Energy Fund (GSF) raise. A bit of a punt on a newish trust with a slightly higher yield (7.82% forward yield).

Cheers,

Juan.

Cheers, Juan.


According to H-L, last year GSF had an "annual management charge" of 1% and an "ongoing charge" (management + performance) of 3.47%

Is that a little steep, or quite normal?

The management charge is not too bad if there is a geographical widespread of investments involving a lot of travelling but I would not buy a trust with a performance fee. They are becoming quite unusual because of course they are a one way benefit for the fund manager, by which I mean they get rewarded if they exceed a certain benchmark but there is no clawback if they fall below it.

Other than GSF and GRID I am not aware of any alternative investments that give access to the development of energy storage facilities. It seems a useful diversification to me and as an area of emerging technologies, I’m happy to pay a bit more in fees.

Admittedly buying in the raise through primary bid sweetened the deal a bit with a placing at a discount to the share price and able to purchase without incurring stamp duty or fees.

Cheers,

Juan.
