Baker Steel Resources (BSRT) was listed in 2010 and holds a concentrated global portfolio of both listed and unlisted smaller mining companies. The trust had a difficult start, due to the slump in commodities during the 2010s, and shareholders were underwater from 2012 until just a few months ago, but its recent performance has been much more impressive. Its share price has nearly quadrupled from a low of 34p in late 2023, thanks to the surge in gold and silver prices plus gains from holdings like Tungsten West and Blue Moon, taking its market cap to £135m. BSRT has typically traded at a wide ...

Invesco Asia Dragon (IAD) was listed in 1995 and was a fairly small trust up until early 2025, when what was then called Invesco Asia took over the much larger Asia Dragon. IAD is managed by Fiona Yang, who took on the lead role from Ian Hargreaves in May 2024, with Hargreaves remaining as co-manager. This trust holds a fairly concentrated portfolio of about 60 stocks, with about 50% in its top 10. Since management of the trust was moved back to Invesco's Henley office in 2004, IAD has built up an impressive performance record of around 13.5% a year, some two percentage points a year ahead of ...

Tetragon Financial Group (TFG) is one of the oddities of the investment trust sector. Set up by the founders of a hedge fund called Polygon, it went public on Euronext in 2007 at $10 per share, listing on the London market in 2015, and introducing a separate sterling quote in 2018. Originally an investor in debt instruments called CLOs, its business model has evolved to focus on investments in private equity firms and the funds they manage, plus direct private investments and listed equities. Governance is a key concern here as management controls the trust's 10 voting shares, and all its list...
