Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust plc

Company Overview

Aberforth Smaller Companies Trust is an Investment Trust whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange. It is one of the largest trusts within its sub sector of UK Smaller Company Investment Trusts, the objective of whom is to achieve a net asset value total return (with dividends reinvested) greater than on the Hoare Govett Smaller Companies Index (Excluding Investment Companies) over the long term by investing in a diversified portfolio of small UK quoted companies.

Company Strategy

The Trust aims to achieve its objective by investing in securities of companies which are or which would be constituents of the Hoare Govett Smaller Companies Index (Excluding Investment Companies). The upper limit to this index was companies with a market capitalisation of £767 million as at 1 January 2005 (the date of the last annual index rebalance). This market capitalisation limit will change due to movements in the stockmarket. The portfolio is diversified and will normally consist of investments in over 80 individual companies. In seeking investments the approach will be fundamental in nature involving regular contact with the management of prospective and existing investments in conjunction with rigorous financial analysis of these companies. The emphasis within the portfolio will reflect the desire to invest in companies whose shares represent relatively attractive value within a given stockmarket environment.
