VH Global Energy Infrastructure and Brazilian Market Volatility
The filing states that a material portion of the losses in October were attributable to a large share price fall in VH Global Energy Infrastructure (ENRG), a London-listed investment trust in formal managed wind-down. Approximately 37% of ENRG's infrastructure portfolio is located in Brazil, including a hydroelectric plant and solar assets. The filing states that Brazilian financial markets were significantly affected by the surprise re-election of Lula da Silva to the Presidency, with the Brazilian share market falling 14% on the first trading day following the election results. GVF disclosed it added to its holding in ENRG following the sell-off.
Schroder British Opportunities Trust Share Price Decline
The filing attributes the other key contributor to October's portfolio losses to Schroder British Opportunities Trust (SBO). According to the filing, SBO's share price decline over the month reflected a widening of the discount to asset backing, with no corresponding impairment to the underlying assets in the portfolio. The filing notes that SBO's shares are very thinly traded, meaning relatively small amounts of trading can cause sizeable month-to-month price movements. No further details regarding SBO's position or any changes to GVF's holding in SBO were disclosed in the filing as provided.
