Discount to NAV
• Why would it trade at a discount?
1. Can buy underlying investments yourself
2. Holdco costs
a) Management Fee
b) Performance Fee
3. They tend to keep the cash
• BUT it is not justified…
1. Who better to know when to sell BAT?
2. History of treating minorities fairly
3. Exceptional returns earned on investments to date
(which we cannot get exposure to)
4. Performance Fee based on Euro price, but got headroom
