JP Morgan issued an RNS today saying there are “currently no plans to issue shares or raise capital”.
I don’t like the use of the word ‘currently’, as, if they write the plans tomorrow its technically not an untrue statement.
I simply do not trust them and think the fund should be delisted, surplus cash paid out and frozen until such a time as we can get our money out at a reasonable valuation – which I would define as MOEX +/- 10%. I am very aware this may take several years but am nothing if not patient. There is some movement amonst shareholders to put forward a resolution limiting their ability to dispose of Russian stocks – if something like this is proposed I will support it.
There is no advantage to making this a live investment vehicle with 41p/share live assets, coupled with an unvaluable (in effect) amount of Russian stock.
This simply isnt a sensible plan and should still be voted against at the earliest opportunity.
