KCT maintains strong cash position throughout current bear market

  • KCT has maintained its strong cash position throughout the current bear market, refusing to pay inflated prices for investment opportunities. The company is now, however, more  optimistic about conditions for investment, stating that ‘pricing generally became more realistic during the course of the year (2002)’, and has indicated that investment activity will increase in 2003.
  • The shares now stand at a discount to net asset value of 28.7%. Cash or near-cash accounts for about 98p per share or 46% of NAV: stripping this out from both share price and NAV would imply an actual discount of 52.9% to the underlying investments held in the portfolio.
