Edison issues review on Standard Life UK Smaller Companies
(SLS)
Standard Life UK Smaller Companies (SLS) is managed by Harry
Nimmo at Aberdeen Standard Investments. He has followed the same
investment process since he took over management of the trust in
2003, through a number of economic cycles, and considers it to be
stable, predictable and well defined, while providing an element of
resilience during periods of stock market weakness. He also
believes that the investment process is optimal for running large
amounts of UK small-cap money. Nimmo has a long-term record of
outperformance - SLS's NAV total return is ahead of its blended
benchmark over the last one, three, five and 10 years, and above
the averages of its larger peers in the AIC UK Smaller Companies
sector over one and five years, and broadly in line over three
years.
SLS's current 8.4% share price discount to cum-income NAV is
wider than the 4.8% to 5.4% range of average discounts over the
last one, three, five and 10 years. The board actively manages the
discount, aiming to keep it below 8% (in normal market conditions -
see page 7). This is achieved primarily via share repurchases.
While the trust's objective is to generate long-term growth rather
than income, SLS also offers a dividend yield of 1.7%.
