Nah, a double-digit premium for a straightforward equity investment trust would make me a little queasy I think 🙂

Of course safer is all relative. 🙂

For stock pickers like me it’s tempting to use the Smithson holdings as a watch list. (Must investigate Abcam!)

You wouldn’t top-up when it’s at a double-digit premium, would you? 🙂 I know LTI fans have done so repeatedly with great success, but of course that holds a certain fast-growing unlisted fund manager… 😉
