Ordinary Shares
Date of purchase:
3 March 2023

Number of ordinary shares purchased:
50,000

Price paid per share:
£20.13

***This is a 17.5% discount to their end of Jan NAV of 2440p
In their annual results last week they wrote "Where not precluded by being in a closed period or approaching an imminent publication of NAV, we have continued seeking to capture value for shareholders by buying back shares as we approached a high single-digit discount."....
I wonder if they will continue this policy this year... implies a target for RCP of 2198p which is a 9.9% discount... (and 2198p is 9.2% higher than most recent buyback)

The issue is how much stock will they have to buy back to reach the target. I am happy with 15% discount and will be out as before.

I expect that they will at least in the short term, and if they stop buying shares in the coming days the reason would be the Feb NAV release. There isn't sufficient data to be sure this is their policy, but I could find no past buybacks conducted in a one week period preceeding a NAV release.

I didn't particularly want to be right about this, but it looks like they probably bought no shares today and this would be about a week before they normally announce the previous month's NAV. I guess prices are probably heading south for the next week.

£420k might seem a lot of money to us but what percentage is it of the family trust?

I did say somewhere in here that I’d probably consider buying at £18.00-£18.50.

Still convinced that something is definitely amiss with PE valuations! Maybe the SVB debacle will unearth other general PE/VCP structural weaknesses in the coming weeks. The speed at which the government moved this weekend with HSBC buying SVB for a pound tells me there is (or was) a serious risk of contagion. Was this a favour from HSBC to the government?
Looks like we learned a lot from 2008.

Will follow this closely now. Covid crash saw RCP hitting £15.00 but I doubt very much we are going anywhere near there…. or are we ?

Edit.. or maybe generally, ‘the bear market rally’’ is over and we are at the start of the next leg down. Might explain why the so called ‘wealth preservers’ (not RCP) have dropped recently… could be general liquidity raising ready for a drop. If anyone knows the answers…

I'm watching this too - personally i think that £18- £18.50 is reasonable entrypoint as it hits a 2% yield. The SP dropped to £15ish in the immediate aftermath of covid but seem to hover in the £18 range for the remainder of 2020.

That's the function of the BOE to maintain financial stability. No time for due diligence. The £1 consideration reflects the fact that that HSBC are taking on all the risk. Remember LLoyds came a cropper buying HBOS. Five months after the acquisition they had determined that around the quality of around 35% the loan book was poor. Business they themselves would never have written.

SVB only has around £100 million of assets. When the RBS Group went under in October 2008. The balance sheet size was £2.2 trillion. The largest bank in the world. For perspective of this figure the annual UK GDP was some £1.6 trillion at the time.
