MANAGERS COMMENT

MIGO's NAV fell by 1.4% in February

February was a turbulent month for markets. Trump's presidency is proving unsettling for investors forced to contend with tariff announcements and the geopolitical fallout from his administration's strategy on the Russia/Ukraine war. Although these events affect risk appetite, we remain focussed on idiosyncratic trustspecific catalysts to drive returns, a strategy which should hopefully provide some protection against broader market moves.

Georgia Capital

Georgia Capital was our best performer. The trust has been through a turbulent period caused by political tensions following the Oct-24 election. In February Georgia Capital released an excellent set of results with EBITDA increasing across their underlying companies. The shares responded well, adding substantially to their gains already recorded over the month to end February up +19%. Despite this, the company still sits on a wide discount of 48%. We continue to believe there will be a further rerating, particularly if the trust succeeds in selling its renewable energy assets, while the put option on the water company sale should provide further firepower for buybacks.

VH Global Sustainable (ENRG)

After a period of torrid performance ENRG's shares rallied significantly. The trust is one of the casualties of rising interest rates and investors' move away from income producing trusts in infrastructure and renewables. ENRG has a continuation vote next year and with the trust sitting on a discount of over 40% it is clear to us that the board and managers will need to sell off assets and hand cash back to shareholders.

Uranium

Our exposure to uranium took a hit in February with Geiger Counter down 22%. There had been a lot of optimism around the use of nuclear power to power AI data centres, with Google's purchase of Three Mile Island being indicative of big tech looking for power solutions for the new technology. With the release of DeepSeek however there have been concerns that this new low power AI technology will dramatically cut these needs and shares in uranium miners have responded accordingly. We believe investors are trading around short-term sentiment rather than focussing on the supply/demand dislocation in the uranium market.

Baker Steel Resources (BSRT)

BSRT was weak over the month despite encouraging operational progress with several of the portfolio holdings making good progress towards maturity. Both Futura (a coal mine in Australia) and Cemos (Moroccan cement) have grown to become a large part of the portfolio and should start to pay dividends in the coming year. We are of the firm view that any excess cash should be returned to shareholders in some form given the wide discount at which the trust trades.
