    Seven checks for choosing the best LIC

    Seven checks for choosing the best LIC - Cuffelinks


    of those mentioned i hold

    CDM ( largest LIC by $value and 7th largest holding )

    BKI

    HHV

    WIC

    OZG

    WAX ( at no cash risk )

    CAM ( 2nd largest LIC by $value and 10th largest holding )

    i try to buy a LIC while it's mandate is out of favour ( normally a discount to NTA and when historic yields are fairly good )

    ( BST remains the exception , but am expecting the strategy to mature in time )

    having a lot of cash on the sideline is not appropriate for me , , i need the capital working ( harder than TD interest .

    so always trying to think of new tweaks and twists

    Watch premiums and discounts in LICs - Cuffelinks

    please note this is old ( more than 1 month )

    new research should be published before Xmas ( however it does give you some to start slimming down the list )

    personally i do NOT use NTAs
    as a major guide some LICs i hold ,change the portfolio markedly through out the year , WAX for one example

    WAX is a very different portfolio to when i bought in during Sept. 2011 , CDM has changed a lot , as has HHV , while CAM has even modified their investment style

    search this forum for austing ( a member here ) he often posted LIC related info from other sources

    good hunting
