Premium to NAVWas speaking with a friend this morning about Premium to NAV price on investment vehicles.
Like me, he's an amatuer, retired, relatively cautious, investor who became disenchanted with brokers just over thirty years ago.
We do take risks, but only short term, when we believe there is a quick 10%+ profit to be made. Sometimes we sell to fast and miss a huge upswing, but profit is profit and it's better than a loss.
We both like BK and BK.UN as well as EIT.UN when they trade around a 5% premium to their NAV.
Safety is the main reason.
When investment vehicles such as these start to trade significantly below NAV, it means the large investors don't see enough value to take a risk.
I don't mean short term dips below NAV, because that is often just emotional momentum or investors dumping their "safe" vehicles to pursue such vehicles as NVIDIA for quick and easy profits.
I don't often get a chance to play those huge movers, mostly because I don't follow them and just don't feel good about investing in anything with such seemingly outrageous premiums to NAV, no matter how good the profits look at chosen times.
BK.UN, BK and EIT.UN are IMHO perfectly priced and the appx 5% premium to NAV buys reflect this.
Way to many negative/positive influences, mixed with political intervention, going on right now for me to take on more risk than these offer.
Of course, this is just IMHO as always and please do your own due diligence.
GLTA the good folks here
